title: [Hematology and dentistry. Part 1. Physiology and mechanisms of hemostasis].
abstract: In the dental office, adequate functioning of the haemostatic mechanism is essential in surgical procedures, e.g. tooth extractions. Haemostasis is the result of proper interaction between blood platelets, clotting factors and vessel wall. In the laboratory, intensive testing of the mechanism involved may be performed but the ultimate tests are the patient history and the clinical outcome of invasive procedures.
