title: Hemostasis for dental surgery.
abstract: Uncontrolled hemorrhage following dental surgery is one of the most serious emergency situations dentists may encounter. Uncontrolled hemorrhage following a surgical procedure requires prompt and appropriate action, or significant morbidity or mortality can result. Through a thorough understanding of hemostasis, the causes of uncontrolled bleeding and the means to control hemorrhage, risks can be minimized and morbidity averted. All dentists performing dental surgery should be well versed in the management of bleeding emergencies.
