BACKGROUND Moisture control is very important in restorative procedures in dentistry. Use of hemostatic agents helps control moisture; however, they might result in changes on enamel and dentin surfaces, affecting composite resin bond quality. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the marginal microleakage of two different composite resins with the use of three different hemostatic age...

oral surgery in patients with bleeding disorders is associated with a high risk of bleeding during and after surgery. this article is aimed to present the case of an eight-year-old girl suffering from severe fanconi anemia with pancytopenia who underwent a dental extraction. the hemostatic effect of local administration of tranexamic acid in combination with a primary suture seems to be extreme...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is no in-depth information available on the changes in hemostatic systems in patients in the acute phase of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study was conducted to assess the relationships between the changes in hemostatic systems and clinical parameters in patients in acute-phase ICH. METHODS The records of 358 patients admitted within 6 hours of ...

The maintenance of vascular integrity and control of blood loss are regulated by a sophisticated system of circulating and cell-associated hemostatic factors. These factors control local platelet aggregation, the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to an insoluble fibrin polymer, and the dissolution of fibrin. However, hemostatic factors are also involved in a number of physiologic processes, incl...

UNLABELLED Hemostatic system is designed to maintain blood in a fluid state yet provide important defenses against bleeding when injury occurs to the vessel. During surgery, patients are exposed to hemostatic stress causing complications of either hypercoagulability or hemorrhage. The goal of the present study was to describe the clotting changes in patients who underwent major surgeries especi...

Topical hemostatic agents can be used to treat problematic bleedings in patients who undergo surgery. Widely used are the collagen- and gelatin-based hemostats. This study aimed to develop a fully synthetic, biodegradable hemostatic agent to avoid exposure to animal antigens. In this in vitro study the suitability of different newly developed polyurethane-based foams as a hemostatic agent has b...

Diabetes has acquired an epidemic character due to the large increase in the number of individuals affected over recent decades. Diabetes-related mortality is associated with thrombotic events, especially cardiovascular. In general, patients with diabetes present symptoms of hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis. However, the mechanisms that trigger hemostatic abnormalities in diabetic patien...

Blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with a shelf life limit of 3 to 5 days. Many approaches have been investigated experimentally to produce new hemostatically active platelet products that are capable of long term storage. In this article infusible platelet membrane will be explained as a platelet substitute versus conventional liquid-stor...

BACKGROUND Achieving of moisture control especially gingival bleeding control is great challenge in clinical practice. Various hemostatic agents and techniques have been promoted for bleeding control during dental operation. But few studies have focused on the cytotoxicity of hemostatic solutions. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate cytotoxic effect of hemostatic agents on human gingiva...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of local acting hemostatic agents in patients who are undergoing dental extraction(s) and are taking oral anticoagulants. DATA SOURCES A search of MEDLINE (1966-July 2006), International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (1970-July 2006), and EMBASE (1966-July 2006) was conducted using the key terms anticoagulation, warfarin, hemostatic mouthwashes, epsilo...
