There are five principal causes for excessive bleeding in the immediate postextraction phase ; (1) Vascular wall alteration (wound infection, scurvy, chemicals, allergy) (2) Disorders of platelet function (genetic defect, drug-aspirin, autoimmune disease) (3) Thrombocytopenic purpuras (radiation, leukemia), (4) Inherited disorders of coagulation (hemophilia, Christmas disease, vitamin deficiency, anticoagulation drug-heparin, coumarin, aspirin, plavix). If the hemorrhage from postextraction wound is unusually aggressive, and then dehydration and airway problem are occurred, the socket must be packed with gelatine sponge(Gelfoam) that was moistened with thrombin and wound closure & pressure dressing are applied. The thrombin clots fibrinogen to produce rapid hemostasis. Gelatine sponges moistened with thrombin provide effective coagulation of hemorrhage from small veins and capillaries. But, in dental alveoli, gelatine sponges may absorb oral microorganisms and cause alveolar osteitis (infection). This is a case report of bleeding and infection control by the circumferential suture and iodoform gauze drainage on infected active bleeding extraction socket under sedation and local anesthesia in a 71-years-old male patient with anticoagulation drug.

This is a case report of bleeding control by continuous rubber strip & iodoform gauze drainage (without gelfoam packing) of active bleeding infection sites of three teeth extraction wounds in a 46-years-old female patient with advanced liver cirrhosis.

Hemophilia is a congenital hemorrhagic disease in which blood clotting is impaired and hemostatic abnormalities occur when even one of the 13 factors required for blood clotting are deficient. Among the 13 factors, hemophilia A (factor 8), hemophilia B (factor 9), and hemophilia C (factor 10), depending on the deficient coagulation factor. A male patient in his 40s diagnosed with hemophilia A visited the dentist at Eulji University Hospital for problems with alveolar bone absorption and periodontal abscess caused by overall chronic tooth inflammation, and showed overall bone absorption and inflammation at the time of initial diagnosis. No complications or bleeding tendency were observed in the rest of the area except for #35 and #36 due to regular visits for 10 years, overall good oral conditions, and no side effects or complications were observed.

Hemophilia is an X-linked herediatry disorder. Hemophilia A is a defiency of factor VIII and hemophilia B (Christmas disease) is a deficiency of factor IX. The most widely used classification is based on plasma procoagulant levels, with people <1% factor defined as severe; 1 - 5% moderately severe; and >5% as mild. A 7 years old boy visited our clinic with chief complaint of impacted supernumerary tooth. This boy had severe hemophilia A. With the previous $ADVATE^{(R)}$ injection and factor VIII replacement, Extraction of supernumerary tooth was successfully done under General anesthesia. A 9 years old boy referred from local clinic for dental caries treatment. This boy had severe hemophilia B. With the preparation of $BeneFIX^{(R)}$ injection, dental treatment was done successfully under general anesthesia. It is often first detected by dental trauma. Since bleeding after dental treatment may cause severe or even fatal complications, people with hemophilia must be given special dental care. The treatment of the patients with either hemophilia A or hemophilia B involves the intravenous infusion to either control or prevent bleeding.
