Abstract

Haemophilia A and B are one of the most common inherited bleeding disorders. Nevertheless, people with congenital haemorrhagic diatheses comprise a small proportion of the total population. Therefore, treating such patients can be a challenge for dentists, as most of them have no experience in the dental management of these cases. As a result, dental care is often neglected in this cohort of patients. Despite the potential bleeding risk of the dental procedures, the most routine, non-surgical interventions can be performed in a general dental practice after consultation with a haematologist and in adherence to protocols. A guideline on the possibilities of comprehensive dental treatment of patients with congenital bleeding disorders has not been published in Hungary. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review the literature on dental management of patients with haemophilia and to summarize treatment options in all fields of dentistry. This systematic review of the literature may be useful for dentists to treat patients with haemophilia more confidently and to overcome the difficulties in dental care. The article also provides professionals involved in the management of haemophilia with a practical summary of dental interventions.
