  • Title: Dental management of patients taking antiplatelet medications.
    Author: Henry RG.
    Journal: Tex Dent J; 2009 Jul; 126(7):608-16. PubMed ID: 19753816.
    Abstract:
    Antiplatelet medications are drugs which decrease platelet aggregation and inhibit thrombus (clot) formation. They are widely used in primary and secondary prevention of thrombotic cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease. The most common antiplatelet medications are the cyclooxygenase inhibitors (aspirin) and the adenosine disphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitors clopidogrel (Plavix) and ticlopidine (Ticlid). The dental management of patients taking these drugs is reviewed here.
