Popis: Introduction: Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin, ASA) belongs to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs group (NSAIDs), characterized by analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory properties. ASA blocks production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes due to non-competitive irreversible inactivation of cyclooxygenase 1 enzyme (COX1). Nowadays, ASA is most commonly used to inhibit platelet function and to reduce the risk of thrombotic events. The aim of the study: The purpose of this narrative systemic review was to analyse and summarize available data on necessity of acetylsalicylic acid cessation before oral surgery. Material and method: Standard criteria were used to review the literature data. The search of articles in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases was carried out using the following key words: acetylsalicylic acid, oral health, oral surgery. Description of knowledge: According to some medical practitioners dosing acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) before tooth extraction should be stopped because of fear of bleeding complications.
