<p>Dental management of the anticoagulated patient<br>Lieutenant Commander Nicholas J. Toscano, DC, USN, Captain John Mumford, DC, USN and Captain Blake Turner, DC USN<br><br>Introduction<br>With advances in medicine, dentists are faced with managing patients with complex medical histories. Frequently, patients on anticoagulation therapy present to the dental office. These patients can be of significant intra-operative and post operative bleeding risk when procedures such as dental extractions, periodontal surgery, biopsies, and even block local anesthesia, are required. Knowledge of the drugs involved, common lab values, and surgical management of the anticoagulated patient can help the dentist lower the risks of bleeding associated with these patients.
