The rationale of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Axiostat hemostatic dental dressing in achieving hemostasis post-extraction and determining its effect on pain and healing of the extraction wound, compared to control, i.e. conventional method of extraction in patients on oral anti-platelet therapy.

Axiostat® is a sterile, non-absorbable haemostatic dressing intended to control profuse bleeding within minutes of application by providing an active mechanical barrier to the wound site. Axiostat® stops moderate to severe bleeding due to cuts, abrasions, lacerations, venous/arterial punctures and more. Mechanism of action is such that Axiostat® is an extremely positive dressing that becomes very sticky in the presence of negatively charged blood and thus seals the wound area.
Size: 1 x 1 cm
Time to achieve haemostasis
Time to achieve hemostasis by observing the time at which blood oozing through or from periphery of the dressing stops.
Time frame: 1 Day
Pain & Healing Scale
Patients comfort level as assessed by verbal inquiry after completion of procedure.
Time frame: Upto 1 Day
