The International Normalized Ratio (INR) standardizes prothrombin time for accurate anticoagulation monitoring. This article details INR calculation and its dental practice applications.

Area of Science:

Biomedical Science
Clinical Pathology

Background:

Anticoagulation therapy requires precise monitoring.
The World Health Organization introduced the International Normalized Ratio (INR) in 1983.
Standardization of prothrombin time is crucial for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the calculation method for the International Normalized Ratio (INR).
To elucidate the clinical relevance of INR in dentistry.

Main Methods:

Review of the methodology for INR calculation.
Analysis of INR's application in dental patient management.

Main Results:

The INR provides a universal standard for prothrombin time measurement.
