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.

With the progress of medical treatment techniques of bleeding control, dental care of the patient with hemophilia has become more convenient. So many surgical treatments can be performed with out-patient. 2 cases of intraoral surgical treatment of children, one with hemophilia 3, sever, the other with hemophilia A, severe. While the former was treated under general anesthesia, the latter was treated under local anaesthesia. There are principles : 1. When a patient with hemophilia need dental treatment, the dentist must consult to his physician, pediatrician, or hematologist before dental treatment. 2. When the dentist make a treatment plan, there should be consideration of the general condition, cooperation of the patient and risk of the treatment needed. 3. Minimize the number of times of coming for dental treatment so that reduce the times that need replacement therapy of coagulation factor. And during the treatment, dentist should care for infection and bleeding.

Purpose : To validate the arthroscopic synovectomy for the treatment of hemophilic knee. Materials and Methods: From January 1996 to January 2001, 28 arthroscopic synovectolny were performed in 26 patients with hemophilic arthropathy of the knee. The mean age was 17.8 years. The mean follow-up period was 3 years 11 months. We used six portals (two anterior, two suprapatellar and two posterior) and posterior trans-septal portal in all cases. Result : The mean frequency of hemarthrosis was 4 times per month preoperatively and 2 postoperatively. The mean amount of factor replacement was 4,633 units preoperatively and 1,505 postoperatively. The mean range of motion was $112^{\circ}$ preoperatively and $107^{\circ}$ postoperatively. On radiographic evaluation, three cases were progressed at the latest follow-up. On the subjective evaluation, significant or moderate improvement were in 19 cases $(68\%)$, and no improvement or deterioration in 9 cases $(32\%)$. Conclusion : With complete synovectomy through the appropriate arthroscopic portals, arthroscopic synovectomy of the knee in hemophilic patients is the successful method in decreasing bleeding episodes, amount of factor replacement, knee pain and preventing or delaying onset of end-stage hemophilic arthropathy.

The most effective treatment strategy for patients with hemophilia is replacement therapy with FVIII or FIX concentrates, which usually requires long-term, uncomplicated venous access. However, central venous access device (CVADs, ports) insertion requires inpatient admission and general anesthesia, and presents some problems regarding health insurance coverage. Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) were inserted in two severe hemophilia patients aged 7 and 11 years with high titers of inhibitors. They experienced frequent bleeding episodes and required replacement therapy, which eventually resulted in difficulty in acquiring venous line access. Factor VIII activity was below 1%, and inhibitor titers were 160 and 26.3 BU/ml. In an outpatient setting, PICC lines are easily placed by radiological guidance and require local anesthesia alone. PICC has been feasible, in particular, for hemophilia patients with frequent bleeding episodes.

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.

This case report is a treatment of patient with hemophilia A and autism. The patient's chief complaint was treatment of dental caries on entire dentition and he has an impacted mesiodens located on the apex of the upper right primary central incisor. The patient was consulted with pediatrician and anesthetist about the detailed discussion of the complexities of hemorrhagic disorder. Because he had some problems of behavior management and bleeding, the treatment was done under the gerneral anesthesia. The following results were obtained. 1. Consult with the patient's physician and hematologist about the replacement therapy and bleeding tendency. 2. For the severe hemophiliac child who requires extensive or surgical treatment, general anesthesia may be indicated for the comprehensive care. 3. For the hemophiliac child who has a behavior management problem due to autism and other defects, general anesthesia may be considerable. 4. Care must be taken during dental procedures not to causing a bleeding. 5. Local hemostatic methods must be acquired for the emergency state. 6. Neve prescribe aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, indomethacin, and phenylbutazone. These drugs affect platelet aggregation and exaggerate the bleeding defect. 7. Do not be afraid of hemophiliac patient, and never compromise quality of dental care.

Hemophilia, the most common of the inherited bleeding disorder, is the result of a deficiency of clotting factor. Since bleeding after dental treatment may cause severe or even fatal complications, people with hemophilia must be given special dental care. We report on the diagnosis and treatment of a 9-year-old boy having severe hemophilia visited our department with the chief complaints of pus discharge on the left lower molar region. In the clinical and radiographic examination, periapical abscess and dental caries were diagnosed. Considering complexity of the treatment and complication in the coagulation, it was decided to carry on the treatment under general anesthesia. Clotting factor IX concentrates were intended to provide 50-70% plasma level. Pulpectomy, resin restoration and Stainless steel crown were given under general anesthesia. Several teeth were extracted and the sockets were packed with Surgicel$^{(R)}$ (Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose, Johnson and Johnson Co. Neuchatel, Switzerland) under general anesthesia. Transpalatal arch and lingual arch were given for maintaining the extracted space before discharged. For people with severe hemophilia, factor replacement is necessary before scaling, surgery or regional block injections. Therefore, if several extractions are needed, dental care under general anesthesia would be effective and efficient management.
