  • Title: Postextraction hemostasis in patients on anticoagulant therapy: the use of a fibrin sealant.
    Author: Zusman SP, Lustig JP, Baston I.
    Journal: Quintessence Int; 1992 Oct; 23(10):713-6. PubMed ID: 1289955.
    Abstract:
    A simple and safe method of achieving hemostasis after tooth extraction in patients on anticoagulant therapy is described. The use of a tissue sealant turns a complicated, difficult, and risky dental procedure into a simple one, suitable for any dental clinic. Sixty-one teeth were extracted in 23 sessions. Only four cases of very slight postsurgical bleeding were reported. Dental treatment of the majority of these medically compromised people can be performed by private practitioners, without referring the patients to specialty care centers.
