Abstract:
Patients with cooccurring coronary artery disease and arrhythmias are frequently encountered by dental providers. Individuals with comorbid cardiovascular disease who require dual anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy are a clinical challenge with regard to the need to balance the risks and benefits of intensive antithrombotic therapy. Modifications to dental care will need to be individualized considering the current disease state and medical management. Oral health promotion and good oral hygiene measures are recommended among this population.
