ABSTRACT
Hemophilia comprises a group of hereditary disorders caused due to the defi ciency of one or more clotting factors leading to prolonged clotting time and excessive bleeding tendencies. It is broadly divided into Hemophilia A, B and C which occur due to defi ciency of factors VIII, IX or XI (F VIII, F IX, F XI) respectively. Hemophilia A is an X linked recessive hereditary disorder and is the most common of the three, accounting for 80-85% of the cases. Understanding this complex entity is very important for a dentist to provide appropriate dental treatment and to avoid undesirable consequences. Th e aim of this article is to report a case of Hemophilia A with literature review highlighting the importance of restorative treatment in salvaging the teeth and preventing complications anticipated from the surgical procedures.
