a. 450,000
b. 150,000
c. 50,000
d. 30,000
The correct answer is C: Normal platelet count is 150,000—450,000. In
general, the minimal count for an oral surgical procedure is 50,000 platelets.
However, emergency procedures may be done with as few as 30,000 platelets if
the dentist is working closely with the patient’s hematologist and uses
excellent techniques of tissue management.
