Dental prescribing: doses at a glance

Drugs, doses, quantities and directions by condition and age band — abscess, NUG and pericoronitis, sinusitis, fungal and viral infection, pain, ulceration, dry mouth, caries prevention. Plus the indications that justify an antibiotic over local measures.

SDCEP

Blood thinners and dental treatment

Apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, dabigatran, warfarin, the antiplatelets and the LMWHs — which procedures carry which bleeding risk, when a DOAC dose is missed or delayed and when it is taken again, the INR rules, and the patients whose therapy is never interrupted.

SDCEP

MRONJ risk and dental treatment

Bisphosphonates, denosumab and the anti-angiogenics — how low and higher risk are assessed, what changes for extractions at each level, and the things the guidance says not to do: no antibiotic prophylaxis for MRONJ, no drug holidays.
