Case reports: extraction of teeth in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia using the drug eltrombopag

Doi: 10.4483/JDOH_25Martin03

Abstract: This article examines use of the relatively new drug eltrombopag to treat patients with a low platelet count due to immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) for dental extractions. It presents two cases where dental extractions were completed successfully following a three-week course of eltrombopag and with no post-operative bleeding problems.

Key words: Primary immune thrombocytopenia, dental extractions, eltrombopag, Special Care Dentistry
