RESUMO

Fibrinolysis is a part of the haemostatic process that is responsible for reestablish the blood flow, by the dissolution of the fibrin clot formed after a vascular injury. This process can be altered by several factors, such as tissue trauma and presence of inflammatory or infectious process, which can increase the local fibrinolytic activity and, by that, cause precocious clot dissolution. This could increase the hemorrhagic risk after invasive procedures, like teeth extractions, especially in patients under oral anticoagulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral fibrinolytic activity of patients under oral anticoagulation with cumarin agents and also to evaluate the local factors that could be involved on this activity. Twelve patients under oral anticoagulation who needed teeth extractions were enrolled on this study and submitted to twenty teeth extractions. These patients were submitted to clinical and radiographic evaluation and oral health analysis, by the measurement of oral health indexes (Gingival Index, Plaque Index and Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth). Samples of non-stimulated saliva were collected before and after each procedure and samples of alveolar and peripheral blood were also collected. These samples were submitted to fibrinolytic activity analysis, by the Fibrin Plate Method. For the anticoagulation analysis, prothrombin time assay and analysis of activity of vitamin-K-dependent coagulation factors (II, VII, IX and X) were performed. As result, no hemorrhagic event was observed after the procedures. The results of the blood fibrinolytic activity analysis showed that the alveolar blood presented a higher fibriolytic activity than the peripheral blood (p=0,006). This activity also showed a positive correlation with the oral health indexes (p=0,003 - GI/ p=0,002 - PI). The salivary fibrinolytic activity showed a significant increase after the tooth extraction (p=0,002 - supernatant fraction/p=0,003 - precipitated fraction). This activity, however, could not be associated with the oral health indexes. The level of anticoagulation showed no correlation with the fibrinolytic activity of peripheral blood (p=0,28) and showed a bordering correlation with the fibrinolytic activity of the alveolar blood (p=0,053). The fibrinolytic activity of the oral cavity seems to be strongly associated to local factors, such as local trauma and local inflammatory conditions, not showing the same association to the oral anticoagulation itself
