Pathological Background and Clinical Procedures in Oral Surgery Haemostasis Disorders: A Narrative Review

Abstract

Haemostasis disorders are serious pathologies that could put dental and surgical procedures at risk as they are associated with postoperative bleeding, which in some circumstances could be prolonged and dangerous for the patient. In-depth knowledge of the problems associated with coagulation pathologies and the suitable specific procedures should be implemented in dental practice. A good awareness of the clinical protocols to be used in these circumstances may help reduce operator stress and increase patient compliance. Collaboration with the haematologist is always recommended to establish an adequate treatment plan, both regarding the administration of therapies that promote haemostasis and for assessing the operative risk. Hereby, we summarize the congenital and hereditary pathologies that lead to haemostasis disorders, which can be found in patients undergoing dental procedures. The purpose of this narrative review is to frame the diseases from a clinical, anamnestic, and etiopathological standpoint, as well as to evaluate an operative approach to the pathology under consideration, with particular attention to anaesthesia manoeuvres and post-surgical haemostasis, to avoid hematoma formation and uncontrolled bleeding which can lead procedure failure up and even death. Of note, it is likewise important to educate the patient about prevention, to keep the oral cavity healthy and avoid invasive procedures, limiting the number of operative sessions.

Consciousness-Pathology Relationship: Formation of Health and Disease via Psychological Suggestion

“…A study examining the effects of stress and positive emotions on vaccine response revealed that individuals with a positive emotional style had significantly higher levels of antibodies post-vaccination, with a p-value of 0.02 and an effect size of 0.47. This finding suggests that psychological factors can modulate the immune system's response to vaccines [16][17] .This laboratory-based evidence underscores the impactful role of psychological suggestion in modulating the immune system's response to vaccines. The observed correlation between positive emotional states and enhanced antibody production provides a tangible link between psychological factors and physiological outcomes.…”

Evaluation of Post-Operative Morbidity and Palatal Wound Healing after Implant Uncovering Surgical Procedure Performed with Apically Positioned Flap (APF) and Leukocyte and Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (L-PRF): An Original Technique

“…Experiencing profuse bleeding during oral surgery presents a considerable challenge, potentially impairing the operator's visibility and leading to prolonged post-operative bleeding or hematoma formation. Such conditions heighten the risk of bacterial infections [28]. Eating habits are a significantly debated factor in periodontal surgery.…”

Flapless Dental Implant Surgery in Bleeding Disorders

“…Hemophilia patients (Figures 1 and 2) were treated by replacement therapy of the deficient factor associated with tranexamic acid, as widely documented in the literature. [20,[55][56][57]. The patient with VWD type 2B was treated with infusion of factor VIII e VWF [23].…”
