Objective: The management of anticoagulated patients with warfarin during dental extraction is an intricate issue. We carefully designed the current study so that the amount of bleeding was measured with objective methods and the data from the same patient in different dental extraction appointments could be compared, eliminating the bleeding diathesis differences of patients. Methods: This prospective and controlled study was conducted in 36 adult patients with prosthetic valve requiring multiple tooth extractions. The first dental extraction was performed without the discontinuation of warfarin therapy, and the second procedure was performed with a discontinuation of warfarin and bridging with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The two dental extraction protocols in the same patient group were compared. The total amount of bleeding was calculated as the difference between the weights of gauze swabs used before and after the tamponade; the number of gauze swabs used for bleeding control in the first 48 h was recorded. Result: The median number of used gauze swabs was 2.5 (IQR: 1-5) and 3.0 (IQR: 2-7) in the first and second dental extraction procedures, respectively. The median bleeding time was 50.0 (IQR: 20-100) in the first procedure compared with 60.0 (IQR: 40-140) min in the second procedure. The mean amounts of bleeding were 2194±1418 mg in the first dental extraction procedure and 2950±1694 mg in the second dental extraction procedure. The median number of used gauze swabs, the median bleeding time, and the mean amount of bleeding were statistically higher in the second dental extraction procedure (p<0.001). Conclusion: Continued warfarin treatment at the time of dental extractions reduces the total amount of bleeding compared with bridging therapy in patients with prosthetic valves.
