  • Title: Antithrombotic agents: implications in dentistry.
    Author: Little JW, Miller CS, Henry RG, McIntosh BA.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod; 2002 May; 93(5):544-51. PubMed ID: 12075203.
    Abstract:
    Thrombosis and the complicating emboli that can result are important causes of illness and death. Thrombosis is of greater overall clinical importance in terms of morbidity and mortality than all of the hemorrhagic disorders combined. Agents such as heparin, low-molecular weight heparin, warfarin, aspirin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, and tirofiban are used to prevent venous or arterial thrombosis. Patients taking these antithrombotic agents may be at risk for excessive bleeding after invasive dental procedures. The current antithrombotic agents used in medicine are reviewed, and the dental management of patients taking these agents is discussed.
