Summary
In patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants, bleeding events during or after tooth
extraction can lead to unscheduled interruption of the antithrombotic treatment and a
potential increased risk of thrombo-embolic events. Therefore, an optimal strategy to
minimize bleeding events after tooth extractions is required. In this study, the
investigators want to assess whether adding tranexamic acid mouthwash reduces the number of
bleeding events in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants and undergoing a tooth
extraction.
