[Use of thrombin powder after tooth extraction in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy].
Patients with extreme hypocoagulation, which occurs either as an effect of some diseases with coagulation deficiency or because of the anticoagulant therapy (ACT), are a risk group for oral surgery. In the last decades decision to change or interrupt ACT before and after the procedure was abandoned and more often local heamostasis was being achieved by combining chemical and biological substances. The success of the surgical hemostasis and thrombin powder combination was tested on the group of 20 patients with ACT. The results were satisfactory despite thrombin powder solubility in the moist oral environment.
