Abstract
The thrombelastographic investigation was applied to find out which general and focal factors could influence the destruction of coagulum in the wound caused by a tooth extraction. The investigation was carried out in 13 patients, including five cases with prolongated bleeding and eight cases with alveolations. The results of the trombelastographic measurements show that the changes in the wound caused by a tooth extraction are due to the effect of local factors (trauma, saliva and infection) and not to the general system of coagulation and fibrinolysis (humoral system). Thrombelastograms show hypercoagulable blood reaction in nine cases and normal coagulability in four cases. It might be assumed that in cases with hypercoagulability the fibrinolysis reactions were also accelerated.
