Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the tromboembolic and bleeding complications from a guide for dental management of anticoagulated patients used in the Dental Department of the Fundación Cardiovascular del Oriente Colombiano (FCV) where the patient is classified according to cardiogenic pathology.
Material and Methods: Dental and medical histories of 108 individuals were revised using a descriptive observational study, this in order to design the investigation instrument. The mean age group was 54 years old, 70% masculine.
Results: The highest prevalence of the cardio pathologies was for coronary disease (62.09%) and valvular pathologies (40.74%). The frequency for previous prescription dental intervention was heparin 50.92% and warfarin, 37.04%. According to the protocol, its four categories were subdivided in 2 groups: high risk of bleeding which included subcategories ARS and BRS (72.22%). Low risk of bleeding with subcategories ART and BRT (27.78%). Thirteen patients (12.04%) required a local agent in addition to excessive pressure and/or sutures to detain bleeding. No patients required application of parenteral agents. No tromboembolic episodes were presented.
Conclusions: There were significant associations between some factors and postoperatory bleeding. Those associations will have to be consider for posterior studies.
