Dental Management of Patients With Increased Bleeding Risk – 5 Hours

Description

The number of older adult patients seeking dental services is increasing due to the rise in life expectancy and chronic medical conditions. One such condition is the use of antiplatelet medication. Dentists are concerned about the risk of bleeding after minor oral surgery in patients taking antiplatelet agents. Therefore, it’s important to weigh the risks and benefits of such medication before initiating dental procedures. A treatment guideline should be established to optimize the management of dental patients on antiplatelet medicines. The “Dental Management of Patients With Increased Bleeding Risk” aims to discuss the treatment protocol for patients on antiplatelet medication and improve their dental care.
