“…Hypoxia, in turn, gives rise to systemic complications like local vascular constriction and episodes of pain that can inflict harm on essential organs (Ballas et al, 2012 ). Within the oral cavity, this condition can lead to ischemia and tissue death in facial bones, even causing osteomyelitis unrelated to dental issues, particularly in the mandible (Al‐Jafar et al, 2016 ; Ballas et al, 2012 ). Furthermore, research has indicated that the blockage of microvasculature in dental pulp, even in healthy teeth, may trigger pulpal inflammation (Ballas et al, 2012 ) and potentially result in pulpal necrosis (Al‐Jafar et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Within the oral cavity, this condition can lead to ischemia and tissue death in facial bones, even causing osteomyelitis unrelated to dental issues, particularly in the mandible (Al‐Jafar et al, 2016 ; Ballas et al, 2012 ). Furthermore, research has indicated that the blockage of microvasculature in dental pulp, even in healthy teeth, may trigger pulpal inflammation (Ballas et al, 2012 ) and potentially result in pulpal necrosis (Al‐Jafar et al, 2016 ). When the pulp becomes inflamed, changes in tissue pressure, stemming from reduced blood flow and oxygen levels, can affect nerve‐free endings, leading to damage and stimulation of pulp nerves (Jain et al, 2013 ; Siqueira, 2003 ; Souza et al, 2017 ).…”

ObjectivesThe objective of this current survey was to assess both the occurrence and severity of pre‐ and post‐endodontic pain among female individuals, distinguishing between those with anemia and those without.Materials and MethodsIn the current study, we included a total of 60 women with anemia (hemoglobin < 11) and those without anemia (hemoglobin > 13). We recorded the occurrence and severity of pain before and at 24, 48, and 72 h following root canal treatment using a visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10. Additionally, we collected data on patient age, tooth type, as well as pulpal and periapical conditions. Statistical analysis was carried out using two‐way ANOVA, pairedt‐tests, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The significance level for statistical tests was set at p ≤ .05.ResultsThe incidence of preoperative pain in both anemic and non‐anemic patients was 80%. The total incidence of post‐operative pain was recorded as 71.7% (82.2% in anemic and 61.1% in non‐anemic women). Compared with the pretreatment pain incidence and intensity, the values increased in 24 h but declined in 48 h and 72 h after treatment. Considering the posttreatment pain intensity, the mean values were higher in the three time intervals (24, 48, and 72 h) in anemic patients. Pulpal and periapical status, in contrast to age and tooth type, significantly contributed to the intensity of posttreatment pain.ConclusionRegarding the importance of pain phenomenon in human life, it is recommended to consider anemia as an important risk factor for post‐endodontic pain. Early diagnosis and analgesic treatment interventions in anemic females, alongside the pain control during root canal treatment, could promote the patient's satisfaction and quality of care.

Blood comprises various cellular elements and serves as our immune system's second line of defense. Deviations from its normal composition can have adverse effects on health. At the same time, the oral mucosa in the oral cavity functions as the body's first line of defense, and any anomalies or diseases within it can give rise to both systemic and oral complications. If left untreated, caries can lead to severe tooth damage or extraction, potentially affecting an individual's nutrition and overall health. This review article focuses on the importance of understanding the intricate relationship between blood disorders and oral health. It underscores the profound impact of oral manifestations of blood disorders such as β-thalassemia, sickle cell disease, iron deficiency anemia, leukemia, hemophilia, Plummer-Vinson syndrome, erythroblastosis fetalis, Fanconi anemia, cyclic neutropenia, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia on the overall well-being of an individual.
