with the patient's physician to determine whether and when the blood thinners can be
stopped and subsequently restarted.- . Following a CVA that required significant
hospitalization, routine dental treatment must be delayed by 6 months.- Routine dental
treatment should be delayed by 3 months if the post-CVA recovery was uneventful and the
patient was admitted overnight just for observation.- Avoid epinephrine containing LAs
during the first 6 months of dental treatment. Subsequent use of epinephrine depends on
the patient's prognosis. Epinephrine containing LAs can be used starting 1 year after the
stroke, when the patient demonstrates progressive improvement of the CVA and absence
of TIAs.

normal function.
