A Life Saving Tooth Extraction

Dentoalveolar surgery is accompanied by a number of complications, one of these is bleeding. The majority of patients who bleed after extractions do not have any underlying haematological disorders and generally have had extractions previously without complications, suggesting a purely local factor in the occurrence of haemorrhage; e.g., local infection, traumatic surgery and noncompliance to postoperative instructions. Here we report a case of 14 year old female patient who reported to our department for ortho extraction and after atraumatic tooth extraction the blood continued to ooze for hours. All the local measures failed to control the oozing. Dengue has become a global problem since the second world war. No antiviral drugs or vaccine has been invented so far. The range of the disease appears to be expanding possibly due to climate change.
