Postoperative Bleeding After Dental Implant Surgery in Patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulants: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Dental implants are popular among both healthy and medically complex patients. Patients prone to thromboembolic events receive anticoagulant treatment, like direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). When those patients undergo dental implantation, the risk of bleeding is higher. Objectives: This study primarily aims to describe and analyze bleeding events following dental implantation. The secondary aim is to identify risk factors for bleeding events in patients receiving DOACs, and to suggest precautions. Methods: A case-control retrospective study was carried out on patients who underwent dental implant insertion in a single dental clinic. The experimental group comprised patients on DOACs, while the control group consisted of healthy patients without anticoagu
