| Abstract [eng] |
Haemophilia is a life-threatening inherited bleeding disorder. A rather common complication occurring in patients with haemophilia is excessive and spontaneous bleeding after dental procedures particularly after tooth extraction. There were no previous Lithuanian studies evaluating different aspects of oral health and its related determinants among haemophilia patients. The present study estimated caries experience, dental treatment experience, unmet dental treatment needs, presence of functional dentitions, the periodontal status and a number of oral health-related determinants; evaluated the orthodontic treatment needs and oral health-related quality of life in patients with haemophilia and compared them to matched controls from the general population. |
