Periodontal Treatment in a Patient with Thrombocytopenia Related to Hepatitis Band Cirrhosis: A Case Report
Thrombocytopenia in the patient related cirrhosis and hepatitis B caused the risk of gingival bleeding. In periodontal treatment plan, dentist should concern about the coagulation pathway. Haematological laboratory examinations were important prior to periodontal treatment. Dental and medical team work should cooperate to avoid bleeding complication after treatment. Platelet and fresh frozen plasma transfusions were necessary in such a case before periodontal treatment. As a result, the patient had normal wound healing and no bleeding complication.
