Abstract

Hereditary coagulopathies characterized by reduced blood clotting occupy a special place among diseases of the blood system. The most common of these are hemophilia and Willebrand's disease. Hemophilia-the disease of "royals" - is an old, but still relevant disease. Hereditary coagulopathies, characterized by reduced blood clotting, occupy a special place among diseases of the blood system. Based on who data and the likely frequency of research on these diseases, the prevalence of hemophilia ranges from 3 to 25 patients per 10,000 population. Few studies of the oral cavity in patients with hemophilia have shown a high level of dental diseases, poor hygiene of the oral cavity. This is due to the lack of proper oral care, and dispensary monitoring, fear of prolonged bleeding after dental manipulations. For this reason, dentists try to avoid treating dental diseases in this category of patients. At the same time, modern achievements of medical science in the field of Hematology and the development of effective replacement therapy allow to prevent almost all types of bleeding. However, this group of patients is still unable to receive timely and high-quality dental treatment and prevention, which largely determines the high prevalence of inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial region. All of the above is evidence of the presence of many predisposing factors of damage to the dental system in patients with hemophilia, as well as the need for preventive, therapeutic, including orthopedic dental measures for this category of patients.

Highlights

  • The main and almost the only sign of hemophilia is a tendency to bleed

  • The mild form is manifested by a tendency to bleeding after injuries and operations, spontaneous bleeding does not occur, blood clotting tests may be within the normal range

  • The analysis showed that the average number of carious teeth in patients with hemophilia was 6 times higher than in practically healthy individuals

Summary

Introduction

The main and almost the only sign of hemophilia is a tendency to bleed. People with a severe form of the disease often have spontaneous bleeding, and blood clotting tests always detect pathology. To study the clinical and functional changes of the oral organs in patients with hemophilia and to develop features of dental prosthetics. When examining the mucosa of the alveolar ridge of almost healthy people, capillary networks are clearly visible against the background of pink color. The dental picture of the alveolar ridge mucosa in patients with hemophilia differs from the control one with a high degree of variability in both vascular and non-vascular changes.
