title: Hemostatic technique. Using a splint in oral bleeding.
abstract: Controlling hemorrhage from dental treatment in bleeding disorder patients is one of the most serious procedures encountered by the dentist. Local hemostatic techniques combined with replacement therapy are the usual management. A polyurethane stent as an adjunct therapy is beneficial in controlling hemorrhage. The hemostatic stent provides pressure at the surgical site and adequate protection.
