Periodontal conditions were evaluated using the Löe and Silness Gingival Index (GI) and Greene and Vermillon's Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (SOHI). The results were analyzed using averages, Standard Deviation, Student's T-test and the Chi(2) test, with P<0.0005. 92.5% of the patients had Type 1 vWD and 7.5% had Type 2 or 3. Periodontal Indices: GI (0.70+/-0.40, slight) and SOHI (1,70+/-0,80, acceptable). Comparison with the control group showed that there were statistically significant differences in the SOHI (P = 0.02). Periodontal...
