Effect of natural products on hemostasis. Use in odontology
Keywords:
Productos naturales, hemostasia, coagulación sanguínea, procedimientos odontológicos, interacción medicamentosAbstract
The growing use of natural products in healthcare has raised concerns about their effects on hemostasis, especially in dental procedures. Various herbal products, dietary supplements, and natural compounds can interfere with blood clotting, which could increase the risk of bleeding during surgical procedures or invasive treatments. The present review aims to describe the current status of the use of natural products on hemostasis in dentistry. This study is qualitative, based on a documentary analysis of different publications that review plants that affect hemostasis; publications indexed in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus were analyzed. This analysis reviews the effects of commonly used natural products, such as ginkgo biloba, turmeric, and garlic, on hemostasis and considers their interaction with anticoagulant medications and their influence on dental procedures. The clinical implications and recommendations for the safe management of patients who consume these products are also discussed. Finally, the importance of a detailed medical history and coordination with other health professionals to minimize risks in dental treatment is highlighted.
