Abstract

Introduction: The inherent tendency of blood to clot plays a central role in the formation of clots. anticoagulant agents should be considered essential tools in the management and treatment of patients with coagulation problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of knowledge of dentists regarding anticoagulant drugs and the necessary measures for the treatment of bleeding during dental procedures. Materials and Methods: This article reports a cross-sectional analytical study conducted at the Faculty of dentistry among general dentists at Qom University of Medical Sciences in 1401. The Chi-square and Fisher tests were used to analyze the collected data, which were evaluated using SPSS version 26 software. Results: Among 121 general dentists with an average age of 30.56 ± 6.89 years and an average work experience of 4.46 ± 5.80 years after graduation, 69 were male and 52 were female. A significant percentage of responses to each question on the questionnaire indicated a lack of knowledge about anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs. There was no significant relationship between gender, age, or work experience of dentists and most questions in the questionnaire (p > 0.81). Conclusion: The gender of dentists is not an effective factor in their level of knowledge. Only in the cases of discontinuation of clopidogrel and the postponement of dental procedures due to the use of antiplatelet drugs was there a relationship with the age of general dentists. Additionally, there is a significant relationship between knowledge of the drug prasugrel and the discontinuation of clopidogrel in relation to the work history of general dentists. This lack of connection between these factors demonstrates a need to improve the level of knowledge and awareness among general dentists.
