Overall, only mild postoperative oozing (from 30 to 90 min after surgery) was observed, which could be stopped in most cases after 30 min with a maximum of 1.5 h after tooth extraction, and no hemorrhage was recorded. In brief, oozing events were seen in 28 cases. Here, in 24 cases, the oozing stopped after 30 min of gauze pressure on the wound; in two cases, the oozing stopped after 1 h of gauze pressure, and in two cases, after 1.5 h (Table Summary of the bleeding/oozing events for all cases and for each group specifically (totalSpecifically, bleeding events were observed for rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban in 18, 14, and 10 cases, respectively, however, without significant difference among the groups (Group distribution according to the type of medication with its bleeding incidence (totalBleeding event distribution in association with extraction sites (totalGroup comparisons of the different drugs and the different sites (rivaroxabanGroup comparisons of the different drugs and the different sites (apixabanGroup comparisons of the different drugs and the different sites (edoxabanThere was a significant correlation between bleeding events and the location of the extracted teeth. In detail, significantly more bleeding events were seen in side teeth when compared to front teeth (16 and 12 cases, respectively; Patients taking higher doses of rivaroxaban (20 mg) and apixaban (5 mg) showed more postoperative oozing (Table Certain risk factors are correlated with prolonged postoperative bleeding events. In two cases with prolonged bleeding events, patients were older than 85 years. In one case, the patient showed slightly elevated renal values (creatinine: 1.13 mg/dl). In another case, the patient had smoking habits and a creatinine level of 1.28 mg/dl. Additionally, no correlation between the ingestion time of FXa inhibitors and bleeding events was found (
