Local hemostasis after tooth extraction in patients with abnormal hemostatic function. Use of human fibrinogen
Tooth extraction was carried out in 405 patients with various hemostatic disorders due to thrombocytopenia, chronic liver disease, hemophilia A and B, von Willebrand's disease and oral anticoagulants. Human fibrinogen concentrate was used as local hemostatic agent. Prophylactic replacement therapy (platelets or plasma concentrates) and antifibrinolytic agents were not administered. Oral anticoagulants were not discontinued. Minor postextraction bleeding occurred only in severe hemophilia A and occasionally in the oral anticoagulant group.

Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...
Coagulation
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
