Abstract

To estimate the risk of bleeding after a dental procedure, it is worthwhile to establish a possible bleeding tendency and the use of medicaments, that affect coagulation. In this article normal hemostasis and coagulation are discussed, followed by hereditary and acquired coagulation disorders. The recommended measures, preceding dental procedures are shown, according to the different disorders and the procedure intended.
