Abstract
AimsThe fear of excessive bleeding prompts the physicians and treating surgeons to stop the aspirin therapy prior to invasive surgical procedure. Although this decreases the risk of bleeding complications, but predispose the patient to risk of thromboembolic events. With this background in mind, this study was done to evaluate the effect of aspirin on incidence of bleeding complications. MethodsPatient on anti-platelet dose of aspirin requiring extraction of single tooth was enrolled in the study. These patients were divided into two groups with 30 patients in each group. Group 1: patients were on aspirin therapy (75–325 mg/day) who continued it during simple dental extraction and Group 2: patients stopped aspirin 7–10 days prior to procedure. Single tooth was extracted by simple intra-alveolar technique. ResultThere was no post-operative bleeding complication in any group. ConclusionBased on the result of the study. It can be concluded that there is no need to stop the antiplatelet dose of aspirin prior to simple tooth extraction.
