Abstract
ABSTRACT Aim: The study was done to evaluate extraction of teeth without altering the aspirin therapy. Materials and Method: Hundred patients taking aspirin therapy requiring extraction of teeth were separated into two groups with 50 samples in each. Group I continued the aspirin therapy during extraction of teeth on one occasion, and the same patients who discontinued the aspirin therapy 72 hours before extraction of teeth on another occasion become Group II. Result: The mean blood loss showed slightly increased bleeding in Group I in comparison to Group II. The average bleeding time and mean INR was statistically significant among both groups. The mean clotting time and mean platelet count were not statistically significant among groups. Conclusion: There was no alteration in bleeding after extraction in patients with low doses of aspirin therapy.
