title: [Anti-vitamins K and oral surgery: the end of their prohibition?].
abstract: In patients under oral anticoagulation therapy, the risk of haemorrhage following surgery must be balanced with the risk of thrombo-embolism induced by its discontinuation. Dental surgery is usually safe. Indirect anticoagulation may be continued provided rigorous surgical techniques and careful local hemostasis are applied.
