The most common local cause of active gingival bleeding is the vessel engorgement and erosion by severe inflammation. Abnormal gingival bleeding is also associated with the systemic disturbances. Hemorrhagic disorders in which abnormal gingival bleeding is encountered include the following: vascular abnormalities (vitamin C deficiency or allergy), platelet disorders, hypoprothrombinemia (vitamin K deficiency resulting from liver disease), and other coagulation defects (hemophilia, leukemia). There are many conventional methods for gingival bleeding control, such as, direct pressure, electrocoagulation, direct suture, drainage, application of hemostatic agents and crushing and packing. If the active continuous gingival bleeding is not stopped in spite of the application of all conventional bleeding control methods, the life of patient is threatened owing to upper airway obstruction, syncope, vomiting and hypovolemic shock. Therefore, the rapid and correct hemostatic method is very important in the emergency dental care. This is a case report of active gingival bleeding care via dental crown removal and emergency primary endodontic drainage as a last method in liver cirrhosis patient with advanced periodontitis.

The general local cause of gingival bleeding is the vessel engorgement and erosion by odontogenic infection. Abnormal gingival bleeding is also associated with systemic causes. Bleeding disorders in which continuous gingival bleeding is encountered include the followings : vascular abnormalities, platelet disorders, hypoprothrombinemia and other coagulation defects. There are classic methods for gingival bleeding control, such as, direct pressure, electrocoagulation, suture, crushing and application of hemostatic agents. If the continuous gingival bleeding is not stopped in spite of the conventional methods, the life of patient is threatened owing to upper airway obstruction, syncope, vomiting and hypovolemic shock. Therefore, the rapid and correct hemostatic method is very important in the emergency condition. This is a case report of continuous gingival bleeding control by primary endodontic drainage & suture in a disabled patient with systemic bleeding disorders.

From the standpoint of general guidelines of a dentist, the following conditions should be considered before replanting a permanent tooth. The avulsed tooth should be without advanced periodontal disease. The alveolar socket should be reasonably intact in order to provide a seat for the avulsed tooth. The extra-alveolar period should be considered, i.e. periods exceeding. 2 hours are usually associated with marked root resorption. But, the above mentioned regulations are often difficult to keep in the actual situation of the medical emergency room, owing it to the delay of primary medical care in multiple trauma patients. The successful cases have been reported with minimal root resorption in the long-term periods, in spite of extra-alveolar periods of several hours and combined alveolar bone fracture. This is a case report regarding the effect of endodontic drainage in delayed replantation after a prolonged extra-alveolar period of the avulsed teeth with alveolar bone fracture.
