Management Protocol of Common Bleeding Disorders in Routine Dental Practice


Objectives: Bleeding disorders can result from inherited genetic defects or be acquired due to use of anticoagulant medications or medical conditions
such as liver dysfunction, chronic kidney disease, and autoimmune disease.(1) During blood vessel injury, hemostasis relies on interactions between the
vascular vessel wall and activated platelets as well as clotting factors.(2) Any marked defect at one of these stages results in bleeding disorders. Vascular
wall defects, platelet defects, or deficiency of clotting factors can affect the severity level of bleeding episodes. Thus, patients may have mild, moderate, or
severe episodes of bleeding.
