The objective of the study was to assess the reduction in transfusion days and improvement in compliance for dental evaluation over a one-year period in a low-to-middle-income country. The quasi-experimental pilot study included 40 IBD patients with gingival bleeding. These were divided into two groups: Group A received fibrin glue (n=20), while Group B did not (n=20). The study compared outcome metrics, including the number of treatment days and blood components transfused, using non-parametric tests with a significance threshold of p<0.05. Results showed that Group A required fewer blood components (n=154) as compared to Group B (n=204) (p<0.001). ---Continue Author Biographies Syed Aijaz Ali Zaidi, Department of Oral Medicine, Baqai Dental College, Baqai Medical University, Karachi, Pakistan Assistant Professor, Department of Oral Medicine.
