Does continuing low-dose aspirin therapy increase bleeding in patients undergoing dental extraction?

Structured PICO

Does continuing low-dose aspirin therapy increase bleeding in patients undergoing dental extraction?

Population

n=39 patients undergoing dental extraction who were receiving 100 mg of aspirin daily on a regular basis

Intervention

Continued aspirin therapy (100 mg daily)

Comparator

Stopped aspirin therapy one week before the procedure

Outcome

Bleeding time test one hour before the procedure and amount of bleeding during the proceduresafety

Continuing low-dose aspirin before dental extraction does not lead to uncontrolled bleeding, suggesting it is safe to maintain therapy.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

May support continuing low-dose aspirin for dental extraction; extends RCT evidence against routine perioperative interruption.
