![]() ![]() The splint was fabricated using a 3D printer (Form 3 Formlabs) and light-curable resin (Dental LT Clear, Formlabs) and was delivered after the tooth extraction. This modified STL file was imported into another CAD software (3Shape Dental System, 3Shape) and a surgical splint was designed. First, the tooth to be extracted was deleted using three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) software (Geomagic Freeform, 3D Systems) and a stereolithography (STL) file was exported. A digital impression was obtained using an intraoral scanner. An 87-year-old woman using apixaban had a left mandibular canine that required extraction due to chronic apical periodontitis. In this case report, we introduce a fully digital workflow for surgical splint fabrication to prevent postoperative bleeding in patients receiving anticoagulants and/or at risk of inadvertent extraction of a mobile tooth during impression making. The management of postoperative bleeding is mandatory in patients receiving anticoagulants.
