Abstract
Abstract
Purpose- The purpose of this study was to evaluate the versatility of Feracrylum as a haemostatic agent following minor oral surgery, without altering the regimen of an anti-platelet drug. Method- The post-operative bleeding was assessed in 100 patients on anti-platelet drug following minor oral surgical procedure by comparing the Feracrylum group with the saline-soaked gauze as pressure pack. Result- In group 1, 100% of the patients has an ooze from the surgical site while group 2 only 18% of the patients had an ooze from the surgical site after 2 minutes and 5 minutes with the p-value of 0.012. In group 1 the bleeding was significant while in group 2 the bleeding was not significant at 24 hrs, 2nd and 3rd post-operative day with the p-value of 0.01 and 0.135 respectively. Conclusion- Feracrylum is an effective way to stop the bleeding locally following minor surgery in the oral cavity for patients taking anti-platelet drug with least absorption of the drug into systemic circulation.
