Hemophilia is the most common of the severe bleeding disorders and if not properly managed since early
childhood it can lead to lifelong chronic disease. Hemophilia should be considered in the neonatal period in case
of unusual bleeding or in case of positive family history. Later, hemophilia should be suspected mainly in males
because of abnormal bruising/bleeding or unusual bleeding following invasive procedures—for example,
tonsillectomy or circumcision.Aim of the study is to evaluate the gingival health of children suffering from
haemophilia.A total of 12 haemophilic patients were taken into the study from paedodontics Department
Saveetha dental College ,Chennai. Patient records were collected and then analysed the data of 86,000 patients
between June 2019 to March 2020.The data collected were then analysed in SPSS software.Out of 12 patients
83.3% of patients had fair 0HI score and good gingival health. This study concludes that children suffering from
haemophilia have good oral hygiene and good gingival health.
