| Abstract | ||
| Background Hemostatic agents (Ha) are essential for controlling oral hemorrhage, particularly during surgical procedures, trauma, and certain medical conditions that predispose individuals to bleeding. This review examines the various types of hemostatic agents, including absorbable and non-absorbable materials, topical agents, and biological products, highlighting their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety profiles. The review categorizes these agents based on their mode of action, such as platelet aggregation, clot formation enhancement, and vasoconstriction. Additionally, we discuss the clinical applications of (Ha) in dentistry, including tooth extractions, periodontal surgeries, and management of oral hemorrhaging. A comparative analysis of commonly used hemostatic products, including gelatin sponges, collagen-based agents, and fibrin sealants, is provided to assist clinicians in selecting appropriate options tailored to specific clinical scenarios. Furthermore, the review addresses potential complications and contraindications associated with the use of hemostatic agents, emphasizing the importance of individualized patient assessment. Ultimately, the effective use of (Ha) can significantly improve patient outcomes by minimizing bleeding, reducing operative time, and enhancing recovery in various dental practices. Future research directions are proposed to explore innovative hemostatic technologies and their application in oral and maxillofacial surgery; the purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of different (Ha) used in oral surgery | ||
