title: Case report: Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Dental patient management for a rare platelet disorder.
abstract: With today's medically complex population of ambulatory patients, it is essential that the dental clinician possess a working knowledge of those medical issues that may impact a practice. This is most critical in those patients who present with a bleeding risk. Acquiring a thorough history with necessary medical information and possessing a basic knowledge of bleeding disorders will guide the clinician in deciding whether to treat or to make an appropriate referral.
