Dental procedures in adult patients with hereditary bleeding disorders: 10 years experience in three Italian Hemophilia Centers.
Excessive bleeding after dental procedures are one of the most frequent complications occurring in patients with hereditary bleeding disorders. In this retrospective study we collected data from 10 years of experience in the oral care of patients with congenital haemorrhagic disorders in three Italian Hemophilia Centers. ⋯ We recorded 10 bleeding complications (1.9%), most of which occurred in patients with severe/moderate haemophilia A undergoing multiple dental extractions. Thus, our protocol of management of patients with hereditary bleeding tendency undergoing oral treatment or surgery has been shown to be effective in preventing haemorrhagic complications.
