The main objective of the study is to determine, the management of patient who is under anticoagulant therapy in cardiac patients with periodontal disease and to follow up the effects of dental procedures associated with low-doses of antibiotics in relation with coronary atherosclerotic disease. Patients living with cardiovascular disease are susceptible to physical and emotional stress. This is further magnified if the patient needs dental treatment, as dental surgery itself is stress provoking. Cardiac patient may collapse and die in the dental chair, because of cardiogenic emergencies and multiple drug interactions. Cardiac patients are a great risk for dental surgeons that are why a multidisciplinary approach while managing these medically compromised dental patients is of paramount importance to achieve the desired outcome. Adequate haemostasis is a decisive factor for dental treatment.
