IDA KERALA STATE CDE CHAIRMANíS MESSAGE<br />
The arrival of a hemophiliac patient in the waiting room often sends<br />
shudders down the spine of the dentist. The lack of in depth knowledge<br />
often hinders the management of such patients.Routine <strong>dental</strong> procedures<br />
do not generally involve bleeding; consequently, there is no<br />
contraindication to routine <strong>dental</strong> treatment <strong>for</strong> hemophiliacs. Preventive<br />
dentistry is vital to the younger hemophiliac patient world-wide; older<br />
hemophiliacs may require extensive treatment to restore mouths that have been neglected.<br />
Surgical <strong>dental</strong> procedures may be per<strong>for</strong>med <strong>for</strong> hemophiliacs, but they must be judiciously<br />
coordinated by the <strong>dental</strong> and medical team. The facilities and treatment available will determine<br />
the feasibility of treating such patients in the hospital or on an outpatient basis. It is my earnest<br />
wish to be able to impart useful knowledge so as to arm the dentist with know-how to manage<br />
the hemophilac patient.<br />
I hope this <strong>hand</strong><strong>book</strong> will serve this purpose and wish to thank all those individuals who have<br />
worked to make this a reality.<br />
with regards<br />
Deebu J Mathew<br />
CDE Chairman
