Management Of Bleeding Disorders

This book provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of the major issues specific to managing bleeding disorders in dental health care. This book presents reviews of the underlying theory, physiology, biochemistry and treatment of bleeding disorders including the enzymology of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. Reflecting the multidisciplinary care that is an integral part of managing bleeding patients, the book also includes brief etiology and a practical reference guide regarding type of the disorder, its medication, dose and duration. The dental professional must be aware of the possibility that periodontal patients with no previous indication of bleeding can manifest their first bleeding event in the dental office. A detailed knowledge of intra-operative and postoperative hemostatic measures under challenging hemorrhagic situations is considered a priority for the dental care professional. Management of bleeding disorders is a valuable resource for clinicians working in the area of dentistry and day-to-day practice.
