Official Title: Randomized Clinical Trial to Verify the Effectiveness of Topical Aminocaproic Acid in the Prevention of Post-exodontic Bleeding in Patients on Anticoagulants

Brief Summary: Patients using anticoagulants present an increased risk of bleeding when subjected to oral surgery. Suspending or reducing the oral anticoagulant dose to perform invasive procedures, may result in thromboembolic events, putting patients health in risk. Recent studies advocate the dental surgery treatment without suspending the anticoagulant therapy, since the values of the international normalized ratio (INR) are in acceptable therapeutic levels and local measurements are taken for the hemostasis control. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness use of intra-alveolar epsilon amino caproic acid (EACA) associated to daily rinses with the drug, with routine post-surgical procedures, to control the post-exodontic bleeding in anticoagulated patients. Patients will be referred by the anticoagulation clinic of the Clementino Fraga Filho University Hospital. Once the study criteria is met patients will be randomly allocated into two groups and subsequently subjected to clinical and periodontal examination, radiographic examination and pre-operative periodontal therapy. Laboratory tests (partial thromboplastic time, prothrombin time, international normalized ratio and platelet count) will be held on the day of the extraction. Patients in group 1 ( EACA ) will receive a paste composed of 01 macerated EACA tablet (500 mg), mixed with 0.9% saline solution in the alveolar socket, and routine post-operative care. Additionally, patients will perform oral rinses three times a day, on the first two post-operative days, with a solution from the macerated EACA 500mg tablet diluted in 2 spoons of filtered water. Patients allocated in group 2 (control) will receive routine post-operative care. Classification of immediate bleeding will be held by the professional, on the day of the surgery, immediately after the suture and twenty minutes later and the delayed bleeding, recorded by the patient through a daily questionnaire.

Detailed Summary:

All patients will be submitted to clinical and radiographic examination. Once selected, patients will receive hygiene instruction and will be submitted to full mouth scaling one week before the procedure with an ultrasonic device (CavitronR - Dentsply). The random allocation of patients will obey the order obtained in the computerized program Allocation 1.0 Software© (Isfahan, Iran, 2004). All patients should have the prothrombin time (PT) and INR, active thromboplastin partial time (aTPT) and platelet counts tests on the day of surgery. Patients who present INR< 2.0 e > 4 will be assessed by the medical team about the possibility of change in the dose of medication to the surgical procedure. Patients with predisposing heart conditions the bacterial endocarditis will receive antibiotic prophylaxis as recommendations from American Association of Cardiology (AHA) of 2007. All extraction procedures will be performed by non-traumatic conventional surgical techniques, under local anesthesia (2% lidocaine and epinephrine 1: 100,000). Just one extraction will be performed in each surgical procedure, by the same surgeon. All patients will receive digital compression of socket with sterile gauze for 5 minutes (Chompret `s manoeuver) and suture with non-resorbable wire, silk 3.0 type . Everyone will receive the base analgesic prescription Paracetamol 750 mg (Tylenol© - Johnson & Johnson), 01 tablet every 6 hours, by oral administration, for control of postoperative pain. Patients are divided into two groups:

Group 1 (EACA) - patients will receive the intra-alveolar application of a 500 mg tablet of the epsilon-amino caproic acid (EACA - Ipsilon® - Nikko Brazil, RJ) crushed in 0.9% saline. Additionally, they will be instructed to rinse with 500mg EACA tablets macerated and diluted in 2 tablespoons of water three times a day, in the two days after the extract
