Abstract :

Haemophilia B (Factor IX deficiency) also known as Christmas disease is a rare X-linked recessive bleeding disorder characterized by prolonged bleeding due to deficient clotting factor IX. Dental extractions in haemophilic patients pose a significant risk of excessive bleeding and require specialized management. This report describes the case of a 7-year-old boy with severe Haemophilia B scheduled for the extraction of a lower right deciduous incisor. Preoperative and postoperative management strategies, including Factor IX replacement therapy, local haemostatic measures, and antifibrinolytics, are discussed.
