Abstract
Coagulation disorders are a major drawback in daily dental practice, more so in the increasingly frequent implant surgical treatments, because of the risk of bleeding. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or primary immune purpura is part of the heterogeneous group of so-called "rare" diseases and is characterized by a temporary or persistent decrease in platelet counts. A greater number of hemorrhagic events derived from ITP are added the use of drugs with a large and important dental impact, such as cyclosporine, monoclonal antibodies or corticosteroids. The objective of this work is to provide the dentist the main characteristics of the disease and the pharmacological implications related to its treatment in order to provide a correct and individualized care to each patient.
