Delivery of patient care encompasses a wide range and variety of challenges, one of which is unexpected clinical bleeding. Clinical bleeding can be presented in two forms: the first can occur during surgery; and the second can manifest several days after the procedure. In both situations, the clinician will need to take immediate action to control the hemorrhage and stabilize the patient. The present article will review bleeding disorders and their management. The discussion will address the following issues: • significance of bleeding disorders in the treatment of periodontal disease. • prevalence of bleeding disorders. • basic physiology of hemostasis. • classification and definition. • medical diagnosis. • management of periodontal patients with bleeding disorders. • current concepts and new approaches in treating periodontal patients with bleeding disorders.
