The author analyses and verifies two different attitudes in practice, i.e. first the procedure when the anticoagulant therapy was discontinued and secondly the procedure without an intervention in the anticoagulant therapy before the dentosurgical treatment. At the procedure without an intervention in the anticoagulant therapy the author compares the occurrence of post-extraction bleeding complications in various methods of local treatment of the extraction wound. It was established that treatment by means of both haemostatic dental pin and firm suture was fully sufficient. No statistically significant differences were found between the compared methods of treatment of the extraction wound.
