The patient with bleeding problems

A brief discussion of the patient with bleeding problems inevitably attempts to make a complex subject simple. Obviously this is not possible, yet there is a remarkable degree of consistency today in the way such patients are managed. The research and technology in progress offers continued hope for more knowledge and technical capability. The dentist who must deliver a health service predicated upon the surgical approach to treatment must continue to keep abreast of new developments. He must be comprehensive in the evaluation and management of his patients. This requires a sense of responsibility and the willingness to share responsibility with those physicians best able to deal with the problem.
