Abstract
HemophiliaA is a congenital bleeding disorder, X-linked, characterized by aquantitative deficiency of coagulationf actor VIII. From a dental standpoint, this condition requires strict interdisciplinary coordination and prior consultation with the treating hematologist.

Personalized oral hygiene protocols, intensive plaque control, topical fluoride application, and regular professional follow-ups should be implemented from early ages. Dental prophylaxis should be performed with minimally traumatic techniques, and ultrasonic devices should be avoided unless anti-hemorrhagic prophylaxis has been provided.
