      Abstract

      There is a constant need in oral surgery for therapeutic agents which will accelerate the coagulation of blood, so that bleeding will be diminished to a point where it is no longer troublesome.
      It is important that the oral surgeon recognize the clinical signs of hemorrhagic diseases. Complete history, physical examination, and careful questioning will indicate whether the patient exhibits any hemorrhagic tendencies.
      If any suspicion of bleeding is present, the oral surgeon should seek the aid of a physician or hematologist to evaluate the risk involved if a surgical procedure is contemplated. The patient's health is of primary importance, and the operative procedure under consideration is of secondary importance.
      In the practice of oral surgery, the amount of hemorrhage has been underestimated. When replacement therapy is indicated, the hematologist should be consulted.
      Any surgical procedure may give rise to a potential hemorrhage. The oral surgeon must anticipate and be able to treat postoperative hemorrhage.
