Abstract

Anticoagulants are pharmaceutical compounds used in patients suffering from cardiovascular conditions primarily caused by aging. Therefore, in the dental field, evaluating patients under anticoagulant therapy is a significant factor when considering various dental procedures that may be necessary. Objective: Based on a literature review, this study aims to examine the proper policies that should be followed in any dental surgery for patients taking anticoagulants. Methodology: This is an observational and descriptive study. The literature review was conducted by searching scientific articles in SciELO, PubMed, Dialnet, Google Scholar, and Redalyc, among others. Conclusion: In this literature review, it is concluded that more clinical studies are required to improve the dental management of patients under anticoagulant treatment. Those are necessary to achieve optimal control in surgical procedures and reduce bleeding complications.
