Assessment of the hemostatic and osteopromotive action of a local hemostatic agent in hepatitis patients

Background Patients suffering from hepatitis require special care for controlling bleeding after dental extractions. Although fibrin glue has been widely used, autologous platelet gel with its recognized advantages can be considered as its alternative. However, limited attention has been given in the literature to the use of blood-banked platelet gel as a hemostatic osteopromoter. Objectives The present work aimed at evaluating the hemostatic effect of blood-banked rich plasma and calcified thrombin on patients suffering from chronic hepatitis B and C and undergoing dental extraction. Materials and Methods After conducting proper history and laboratory investigations, extractions were performed atraumatically, and local hemostasis was achieved using surgicel for the control group and using blood-banked plasma-rich gel for the study group. Results The patients were closely observed, and the results proved that platelet gel acted as a successful local hemostatic agent, which was superior in its effect to surgicel with the added advantage of being a healing promoter.
