Amoxicillin-related postextraction bleeding in an anticoagulated patient with tranexamic acid rinses.

This report describes a patient who had significant postoperative bleeding 4 days after undergoing surgery while using a tranexamic acid (4.8%) mouth rinse protocol for local control of hemostatis. Patients undergoing dentoalveolar surgery who are receiving chronic oral anticoagulants are treated with a tranexamic acid mouth rinse at our hospital. No systemic modification of their coagulation status is attempted. The postoperative bleeding problem that developed was determined to be caused by an antibiotic-induced vitamin K deficiency rather than a failure of the tranexamic acid protocol.

Intraoperative nasal transillumination for maxillary sinus augmentation procedures: a technical note.

This article presents a simple, inexpensive method for precisely locating the floor of the maxillary sinus, as well as the presence of any septa, at the time of sinus augmentation surgery. Using an anesthesia light wand placed transnasally to illuminate the sinus, the surgeon can reliably elevate the lateral maxillary wall overlying the sinus with relative ease without fear of placing the osteotomy cuts too far from the sinus floor. The same procedure can be used postoperatively to evaluate the density of the bone graft placed into the sinus prior to closure.
