Abstract
The inherent tendency of blood to clot plays a central role in the formation of clots. Anticoagulant agents should considered as an essential tool in the management and treatment of patients with coagulation problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of knowledge of dentists in the fields of anticoagulant drugs and necessary measures for the treatment of bleeding in dental procedures.
Materials and Methods: This article is a cross-sectional analytical study that conducted in the Faculty of Dentistry on general dentists of Qom University of Medical Sciences in 1401. Chi-square and Fisher test used to analyze the collected data. Data analyzed with SPSS version 26 software
Results: Among 121 general dentists with an average age of 6.89 ± 30.56 years and 5.80 ± 4.46 years of work experience after graduation, 69 were male and 52 were female. A significant percentage of the responses to each question in the questionnaire related to their lack of knowledge about anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs. There was no significant relationship between gender, age and work experience of dentists with most questions in the questionnaire. (p>0.81)
Conclusion: Because a percentage of general dentists do not know about well-known drugs, many medical errors can be reduced by holding annual continuous training and informing city-level dentists and codified training for students.
