Abstract

A patient, accompanied by the daughter with whom she lived, visited a dentist for extraction of her six remaining lower teeth. She had last been to the practice two years earlier, when two teeth were extracted without incident. She had since suffered myocardial infarction and was receiving regular anti-coagulant therapy.
