Objective To carry out a standard meta-analysis to determine if aspirin should be stopped before tooth extraction. Study Design The PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and Science Citation Index databases were searched for studies published up to September 30, 2014. Eligible studies were restricted to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled, nonrandomized trials. Results Three RCTs and seven controlled trials met the inclusion criteria (covering 1752 patients: 529 on aspirin therapy and 1223 not on aspirin therapy). The results showed that the risk of postoperative hemorrhage was significantly higher in patients on aspirin therapy (relative risk [RR] = 2.46; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.45-4.81) but that bleeding time (BT) was not significantly different between the two groups (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.63; 95% CI: -0.04 to 1.31). Sensitivity analyses showed that the results were unstable. Conclusions We could reach a conclusion that BT is prolonged or hemorrhage is exacerbated by long-term use of aspirin. We recommend not stopping long-term aspirin use before tooth extraction but enhancing hemostasis methods, if necessary.
