Diferentes técnicas hemostáticas após exodontia

: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Oral surgery is a therapeutic procedure performed with the aid of precise instruments that, through appropriate maneuvers, allow for the restoration of tissue continuity. For example, after a tooth extraction, the patient naturally presents with bleeding, and the first action to control it is intense and prolonged compression with a dressing. Regarding the materials that can be used in oral surgery for bleeding control, the most notable are aluminum chloride, ferric sulfate, tannic acid, absorbable gelatins, and conventional sutures. Due to the lack of scientific evidence regarding the most effective hemostatic method for extracted teeth, a systematic review was proposed. Initially, after defining the search strategy, 15 studies were included. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, three studies remained for analysis. Following the collection of descriptive data, the RoB 2 tool (Cochrane Risk of Bias tool for randomized trials) was applied. Overall, the results indicate that different hemostatic techniques may be effective depending on the patient’s profile and the clinical context. Additional descriptive data collected from the studies are also provided. Furthermore, there are few clinical studies comparing different hemostatic techniques after tooth extraction, highlighting the importance of generating scientific evidence on the subject.
