Aim: This review elaborates the significance of the knowledge of bleeding disorders in implant dentistry.
Background: Bleeding disorders are the underlying cause of critical bleeding episodes in any type of dental surgery. It has been reported that bleeding disorders damage, or in certain subjects, make dental implant surgery complex. Implant dentists must perceive the ramifications of blood coagulopathies in the treatment of patients. It is of utmost importance for an implant clinician to identify the type of bleeding disorder and the signs and symptoms they present with.
Review results: In this article, although there are limited case studies on implant surgeries in bleeding disorders, the common bleeding disorders and how they affect dental implant surgery have been discussed, along with the related postoperative complications, relevant surgical recommendations as well as practical suggestions for the clinicians.
Conclusion and clinical significance: The management of the bleeding disorder should include careful planning with hematologists, a good knowledge of the hemostatic agents, and experience in administration of the same.
