• Abstract:

  Patients with systemic alterations require greater attention and individualized treatment, in dentistry this is no different, attention to comorbidities and medications used by patients is of paramount importance. Therefore, this work aims to address the importance of the changes that anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents cause in the body and to relate the conduct that the dental surgeon must take in procedures performed with patients who undergo some antithrombotic therapy, also addressing the new anticoagulants. For this, the electronic databases of Google Scholar and Scielo were used. Based on the consulted studies, it was possible to conclude that the suspension of these drugs is not recommended, making clear the importance of a good anamnesis and complementary exams to avoid probable surgical complications related to the formation of thrombi or hemorrhages, also pointing out the importance of the use of local hemostatics if necessary.
