Abstract
Background and Objectives
Uncontrolled post-operative bleeding can lead to several problems and tissue repair disorder indentistry. This study has been conducted to compare the effect of Chitohem and natural silk on the onset of clot formations.

Materials and Methods
This laboratory study was carried out with a dependent parallel design. Three drops of blood were taken from each of 32 participants in the study. Fifty milligram Chitohem and natural silk powder were poured on two blood drops, respectively. The clot formation time was measured for all three groups simultaneously. Duration between pouring powder and starting of clot formation was recorded. Data analysis was performed using paired t-test and repeated measure ANOVA methods using SPSS 17 software.

Results
Participants composed of 20 (62.5%) women and 12 (37.5%) men. The average age of the participants was 43.33 ± 4.08 years. The average time periods of the onset of blood clot formation in Chitohem group, natural silk and control group were 90.97 ± 29.99, 141.97 ± 49.10, and 195.44 ± 58.70 second, respectively. Paired t-test showed the mean time of clot formation was significantly different among groups (p = 0.0001).

Conclusions 
Based on the obtained results, it seems that although effect of “organic natural silk” on coagulation time was less than “Chitohem”, but silk has an acceptable hemostatic effect. The simultaneous use of natural silk and Chitohem can have a synergistic effect.
