Abstract

Classic hemophilia is the most common inherited bleeding diathesis. Recent advances in the management of hemophilia have enabled many hemophiliac patients to receive outpatient dental care on a routine basis. An overview of hemophilia, including etiology, clinical features, and recent advances in treatment, is presented. Guidelines for dental management of the hemophiliac patient are discussed.
