Abstract
One of the less frequently addressed aspects in the management of hemorrhagic disorders, both primary and secondary, is the crucial need for prophylactic planning when patients require dental procedures. These procedures can vary in invasiveness and associated bleeding risk. Nevertheless, such dental interventions are an inevitable part of the clinical course for patients with coagulation challenges.
This consideration, stemming from the extensive clinical experience of specialized coagulation centers, has led to the development of an OJHM issue dedicated entirely to the dental management of patients with inherited and acquired coagulopathies, vascular diseases predisposing to hemorrhage, and oncohematological conditions. These patient groups face heightened risks of bleeding or infection when undergoing dental treatments.
