Dental caries(?superficial) of 8-9 teeth

2018-02-02 05:56:05
I have dental caries involving 8-9 teeth. Dental extraction is advised as elective and is delayed due to Anti-platelet agents, on Clopilet A 75 and whether it can be stopped for dental surgery is not clarified. Have CAD-with PTCA(LAD-stent), taking Metrogyl 400mg BID for 3 days, Augmentin 625mg bid for 3 days, once in 3-6months for 3 years. Asymptomatic with eating food, soft food better tolerated. Is it OK to hold antiplatelet agents for 3-4 days; dentists 2-3 are saying to stop for week??

Respected Sir,,usually anti-platelet drugs are stopped about 5 days prior to extraction,,but according to a latest research,,it need not be stopped.We have put the patient on antibiotic cover first for 4 days and then done the extraction,,but please remember to consult your cardiologist and then move ahead with your treatment.
