ABSTRACT
Advances in haematological therapies for people with complex or rare inherited bleeding disorders (IBD) have resulted in them living longer, retaining their natural teeth with greater expectations of function and aesthetics. Dental management strategies need to evolve to meet these challenges. Utilising low level laser diode therapy to reduce pre-operative inflammation to reduce the intraoperative and postoperative burden on haemostasis is described in a case series of 12 patients. For these individuals who previously required further medical management to support haemostasis or experienced such prolonged haemorrhage sufficient to warrant hospital admission, haemostasis was achieved in the dental surgery such that they were able to return home with no further medical intervention or overnight stays. Global inequities in accessing novel treatments for complex or rare IBD necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the local haemostatic agents available to dentists and the most commonly used agents and techniques are described including the use of single tooth anaesthesia (STA). STA is a computerised delivery mechanism that allows routine dental procedures that would previously have required block injections needing factor replacement therapy to be undertaken safely and effectively with no additional haemostatic intervention. The challenges of inhibitors in oral surgery are explained and discussed although more research and evidence is required to establish new treatment protocols. The importance of establishing good dental health in the quality of life of people with complex or rare IBD is highlighted with respect to the dental specific impact that more novel therapies may have on people with IBD.
