ABSTRACT
The Rationale: Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare platelet disorder affecting 0.0001% of the population. Dentists may often be unaware of this condition, and manipulation of soft tissue can lead to grave consequences, which may even result in fatality. Patient Concerns: In this case report, a 4?year?old patient with Glanzmann thrombasthenia reported to the department with a chief complaint of a discoloured tooth. Clinical Findings: On examination, 51 was nonvital, and pulpectomy was the treatment planned. The non?vital anterior tooth was treated with a pulpectomy procedure. There was uncontrolled bleeding during the procedure. Treatment: A topical solution of BotroClot was used to arrest the bleeding, and obturation was completed following that. The post?operative period was uneventful. Take?away Lessons: Case report explored the use of a topical hemostatic agent to arrest bleeding from the canal. This case report warrants eliciting a thorough medical history before any dental procedure.
