Treatment modalities for inherited factor IX deficiency and the implications of inherited bleeding disorders
Abstract:
Two cases of factor IX deficiency are presented. Therapeutic methods for anticipated abnormal bleeding during dental surgical procedures on these patients are discussed, and two are illustrated. One treatment regimen, plasmapheresis, has not been discussed previously in the dental literature. Epidemiologic data relative to the frequency and type of inherited bleeding diatheses seen by the dental surgeon were obtained from a 2-year retrospective study involving all admissions to the dental service of a regional hospital. These data, in conjunction with the presented cases, illustrate the need for dentists, especially those in the surgical specialties, to be familiar with the inherited bleeding diatheses and their treatment.

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...
