 HI Doctor,

 

      Well patients with Thalassemia Major/Minor generally have their bleeding and clotting time within normal limits. Any invasive Dental procedure should however be planned after these steps:

 

1. routine Hb, BT, CT, PT, PTT

2. A written consent from the treating pediatrician/specialist

3. Perform any procedure on the day of patient’s blood transfusion preferrably while the patient is in day care incase of thalassemia major patients.

     I hope this information was useful. Also you can refer to Little-Textbook for Dental Treatment of Medically Compromised.

Regards

Dr Sony
