Abstract :
Children with hemophilia (A or B) are at risk for bleeding episodes, which rank from mild mucosal/soft tissues bleeding to lifethreatening hemorrhages.This report describes the dental/medical management provided to an 8.10-year-old patient suffering from
uncontrolled bleeding after a surgical procedure to expose both permanent upper central incisors, in which hemophilia was a pure
incidental finding. Additionally, diverse precautions to be considered during the dental clinical treatment of hemophilic children
are discussed.
