INTRODUCTION Bleeding disorders- conditions characterized by prolonged bleeding time or clotting time. Causes of excessive bleeding- coagulation factor deficiencies, fibrinolytic defects, vascular disorders and platelet disorders. Patients with congenital bleeding disorders have an increased risk of significant bleeding from invasive dental and oral surgery procedures. The blood clotting mechanism involves various factors which participate in the formation of blood clot.
FACTORS INVOLVED IN BLOOD CLOTTING Substances necessary for clotting are called clotting factors-
The patient should be asked for any history of significant and prolonged bleeding after dental extraction or bleeding from gingiva. A history of nasal or oral bleeding should be noted. Many bleeding disorders run in families- family history of bleeding disorders should be carefully elicited. A complete drug history is important. patient is taking anticoagulant drugs, consult his or her physician before any major surgical procedure.
SPECIFIC BLOOD TESTS TO CONFIRM BLEEDING DISORDERS
CONGENITAL BLEEDING DISORDERS It include Hemophilia A Hemophilia B Von Willebrand disease HEMOPHILIA Both the Hemophilia A and B are inherited as an X –linked recessive conditions and share identical clinical manifestations. Hemophilia A is more common, accounting for approximately 85% of all the cases of Hemophilia Hemophilia A is characterized by the deficiency of factor VIII. Hemophilia B is DUE deficiency of factor IX
Spontaneous bleeding Hemorrhage in GIT Bleeding in Joints Blood in Urine Post-extraction Hemorrhage Symptoms
Oral Ulcerations & Ecchymosis in toddlers Sharp teeth can be prone to oral bleeding Recession of the attached gingiva & bone loss Pseudohaemophilia Tumour 11
MANAGEMENT dependent upon the severity of disease, type and site of hemorrhage. Factor Replacement Therapy - the primary mode of management. Cryoprecipitate and Fresh Frozen Plasma are rarely used .
VON WILLBRAND DISESASE commonest of the congenital bleeding disorders due to deficiency von Willebrand factor. Binding with plasma proteins (especially factor VIII) is the main function of von Willebrand’s factor. Its autosomal dominant condition ,affects both male and females.
It subdivided into 3 categories.
MANAGEMENT Depends on the type of disease. Type I and type 2A and 2M patients respond to desmopressin acetate Type 2B and type 3 require Vwf replacement. The currently available replacement is vWF containing factor VIII concentrates derived from pooled human plasma.
VITAMIN K DEFICENCY Requires in small, regular amounts. Essential for formation of coagulation factors ,work together to clot the blood Insufficient vitamin K -lead to excessive bleeding and easy bruising. Vitamin k is a fat soluble vitamin necessary for the synthesis(activation) of clotting factors : Clotting factor II Clotting factor VII Clotting factor IX Clotting factor X
characterized by the widespread activation of the clotting cascade that results in the formation of blood clots in the small blood vessels throughout the body. MANAGEMENT • Platelet and plasma transfusion Coagulation factor concentrates such as prothrombin complex Symptoms and signs Bleeding GI petechiae and ecchymosis Bleeding surgical sites Renal Failure pulmonary involvement Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
caused by the deficiency of vitamin C, results in hemorrhagic features because of defects in collagen synthesis. Hemorrhages in skin, bleeding gums leading to loosened teeth, bone pain, hemarthroses, perifollicular hemorrhage, and a painful tongue eventually develop. Cushing's Syndrome: resulting from excessive Corticosteroid intake or production, leads to general protein wasting and atrophy of supporting connective tissue around blood vessels. Vascular Disorder SCURVY
Ehlers- Danlo Syndrome: It is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder of connective tissue matrix, generally resulting in fragile skin blood vessels and easy bruising. MANAGEMENT a detailed case history and a thorough clinical examination. The underlying cause managed, if reversible. Blood replacement and iron therapy may be necessary following dental procedures
It`s most important components of clotting mechanism. Normal platelet count is 250,000 ± 150,000/mm3. less than 100,000 cells/mm3 =thrombocytopenia. Less than 50,000 cells/mm3 =excessive bleeding during the surgery.. PLATELET DISORDERS
ITP is also known as primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura. It is a characterized by abnormally increased destruction of circulating platelets. ITP occurs in two distinct clinical forms: an acute self-limiting form seen in children and chronic form observed in adults. The oral findings -bleeding In mucous membranes and petechiae which can be seen in areas most prone to friction. Idiopathic/immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
In this case, there is no immunogenic destruction of platelets but platelet count is reduced due to either less production or more destruction of the platelet. Platelets may have adhesion (Bernard- Soulier syndrome), aggregation (Glanzmann thrombasthenia) or granule defects (Gray platelet syndrome). Many drugs are also known to have significant adverse effects on platelet number and function. Non-immunogenic thrombocytopenias
The hematological malignancies can be grouped into three categories: leukemia, lymphoma and plasma cell tumors. These malignancies may alter bleeding and clotting time, wound healing. Blood dyscrasias
The multiplication of leukemic cell at the expense of normal hematopoietic cell lines causes marrow failure, depressed blood cell count (cytopenia), and death as a result of infection, bleeding, or both . The four principal diagnostic categories are the following Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
show gingival bleeding, gingival enlargement petechiae ecchymosis due to thrombocytopenia. Infiltration of the gingival tissue with leukemic cells. progressive enlargement of interdental papillae , marginal and attached gingiva. Gingiva appears swollen, devoid of stippling and pale red to deep purple in color. Oral findings Patients with leukemia
The bleeding disorders are clinically confirmed by the case history of the patient. Usually, most of the patients are under medical supervision for their condition. Most of the procedures in non-surgical periodontal therapy do not require augmentation of coagulation factor levels. Procedures that require increment in the clotting factor levels (depending on the type of hemophilia and vWD ), Periodontal treatment of patients with bleeding disorders
A detailed history of the patient should be recorded with a description. If the platelet count is > 75,000/mm3, no need of additional support If the platelet count is 40,000 to 75,000/mm³-platelet transfusions. Localized procedures include sutures, hemostatic agents, pressure packs, and/or gelatin foams. Periodontal treatment of patients with platelet disorders
The main problems in the dental treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies of white cells are: 1. Tendency to bleed. 2. Increased risk of infection, • Odontogenic. • Opportunistic. 3. Anemia. 4. Secondary adrenal insufficiency due to corticosteroids
HEMOSTATIC haemostatic agent
A PROCESS WHICH CAUSES BLEEDING TO STOP PHASES OF HEMOSTASIS PRIMARY HEMOSTASIS ARTERIOLES CONSTRICTION FORMATION OF PLATELET PLUG SECONDARY HEMOSTASIS ACTIVATION OF COAGULATION CASCADE FORMATION OF PERMANENT PLUG
Astringents: Precipitate proteins locally in the bleeding site and control capillary oozing. E.G.- Tannic acid, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate , aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate , Adrenaline: Topical application of adrenaline brings about vasoconstriction of bleeding capillaries. Cotton pad soaked in 0.1% adrenaline solution is applied on the bleeding site to control capillary oozing.
Haemocoagulase : Haemocoagulase enzyme complex is isolated from the venom of Bothrops atrox (viper). Mechanism of action: It has a powerful haemostatic effect. It promotes coagulation by two enzymes: One has thrombin like action (converts fibrinogen to fibrin) Another has thromboplastin- like action. Also shortens the bleeding and clotting time; thereby it controls capillary bleeding.
Sep Gard This works by stopping oozing of blood. It activates thrombin which promotes clot formation. It also combines with blood proteins to form a gel like substance that covers and protects the wound surface which further helps in stoppage OF Bleeding. sepgard Solution helps in controlling bleeding by speeding up blood clotting. It helps to prevent excessive loss of blood, stops bleeding and enhances the healing process. This helps prevent complications of excessive bleeding such as hemorrhage.
Mechanical methods Direct pressure Simplest & fastest Surgeon's first choice pads/gauzes/sponges Application of direct pressure Packaging of body cavity Sutures/staples/ligating clips Sutures and ties used as ligatures to tie off blood vessels Ligating clips - quick & easy to apply Applicator required Site of application should be clearly visible
Thermal/energy based methods Electro Cautery Heat achieves hemostasis by denaturation of protein, which results in coagulation of large areas of tissues. In cauterization heat is transmitted from the instrument by conduction directly to the tissues. Electro cautery has replaced direct heat application.
Cooling is applied to control bleeding. Mostly involves use of liquid Nitrogen. Direct cooling is effective and acts by increasing the local intravascular hematocrit and decreasing blood flow by vasoconstriction. Temperature ranging between -20°C to -180°C are used and freezing occurs around the tip of the cannula within 5 seconds. Cryosurgery

Many patient suffering from various hematological conditions seek dental treatment. As many periodontal treatments involve bleeding, it is essential for periodontists to understand various hematological disorders and the periodontal management of patients with these disorders. In certain situations, it is recommended to consult the physician before rendering the periodontal treatment. Conclusion
