Abstract

Full Text

Aim. To evaluate the benefits of surgical treatment of patients with hemostatic diseases using the erbium laser. Material and Methods. 47 patients with failures of platelet functions who needed dental surgical treatment were operated with the application of laser radiation. An erbium laser with a wavelength 2940 nm was used. In the preopertive period all the patients have undergone clinical, radiological and laboratory study of blood. The patients were consulted by a hematologist. The number of homocysteine in the mixed saliva and the number of fibroblast growth factors β were determined. Results. None of the patients had postoperative bleeding, post-surgical pain. Complete epithelization took 11-12 days. The results of immunoenzyme analysis confirmed a small lesion and good tissue regeneration after the erbium laser application. Conclusions. Important advantages of laser application in surgical treatment of patients with hemostatic disorders were reliable hemostasis and low injury rate.
