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
