Abstract
Sebastian platelet syndrome, which was first reported by Greinacher et al. in 1990, is a hereditary disease that accompanies thrombocytopenia causing giant platelet, leukocyte inclusion body and bleeding. We conducted an extraction of a wisdom tooth in the mandible of a patient with Sebastian platelet syndrome. A 19-year-old man was referred to our department for extraction of a wisdom tooth by his orthodontist. After the medical examination by interview and preoperative examination, we suspected blood disease and found that he was suffering from Sebastian platelet syndrome . In order to control bleeding after extraction of the tooth, we decided to follow the standard procedure for patients with thrombocytopenia. After the tooth extraction under local anesthesia, we packed the affected area with atherocollagen and sutured it to stop bleeding . There was no notable bleeding during or after the operation.
