“…It was reported that some patients are diagnosed following oral symptoms and complications that occur during and after dental treatment [13][14][15]18]. Case reports have described submucosal hemorrhaging, gingival bleeding, petechiae, ecchymosis, and hematomas in patients with IDPF [15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) was reported and described as a bleeding diathesis seen in children and characterized by diminished clot retraction. The disorder is caused by a deficiency in the platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb–IIIa complex, with bleeding due to defective platelet hemostatic plug formation. The recurrent features of GT include purpura, epistaxis, gingival hemorrhage, and menorrhagia. GT being an autosomal recessive trait is reported to be especially prevalent in populations where intermarriage is common. Typically, the patients are diagnosed in infancy within the age of five. Though no differences appear to occur based on sex men more frequently present with gingival bleeding. We report the case of a female patient with GT who presented with the chief complaint of gingival bleeding. The patient was given periodontal treatment under platelet transfusion followed by proper oral hygiene instructions. The report discusses periodontal consideration for GT patients.

Glanzmann's thrombasthenia was reported and described as a bleeding diathesis seen in children and characterized by diminished clot retraction. It is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder. The disease is marked by frequent mucocutaneous hemorrhages either due to defective function of the platelets or lack of fibrinogen binding membrane receptor glycoproteins IIb/IIIa which are located on the surface of the platelets. Case reports on 3 siblings, a girl of 11, and 2 boys of 12 and 16 years old with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia are reviewed. The major complaint of the patients was gingival bleeding. Periodontal treatment was performed under platelet transfusion and proper oral hygiene instruction was given. The patients were followed for 6 months and no periodontal complications developed during this time. Proper periodontal care for such patients is essential both for local and systemic health.
