COAGUILA LLERENA, Hernán  and  MENDIOLA AQUINO, Carlos. Hemostatic agents in apical surgery: A review. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.4, pp.318-326.. ISSN 1019-4355.

The apical area is a highly vascular region, and exhibits a tendency to hemorrhage, especially in presence ofgranulation tissue that usually is present in periradicular pathologies. This is highly important for the clinician, because only with a dry fi eld can be obtained a visible operative fi eld that allows a suitable surgery. It is necessary to assess pre-surgical and surgical considerations such as medical history, as well as tissue manipulation before the election of a hemostatic agent. Hemostatic agents have characteristics that make them particularly very different from each other, both presentation and clinical management. The aim of this review is to describe and discuss the most common hemostatic agents available and their impact on contemporary apical surgery.

Keywords : Endodontics; oral surgical procedures; apicoectomy; hemostasis.
