Abstract
This study evaluates complications that can occur when thrombocytopenic patients undergo dental extractions, as well as the efficacy of attempts to mitigate complications perioperatively. Specifically, in patients with platelet counts less than 100,000/μL, does dental extraction result in significant bleeding complications? In addition, what is the effect of platelet transfusion or application of local measures (fibrinolytic mouthrinses or absorbable hemostat) at the time of extraction? We hypothesized that thrombocytopenic patients undergoing dental extraction would have increased episodes of postoperative bleeding and that frequency of bleeding episodes would be associated with the degree of thrombocytopenia.
