Abstract

Penyakit talasemia merupakan penyakit yang biasa di Asia Tenggara. Namun maklumat berkaitan dengan deformasi kraniofasial dan lengkungan gigi serta kerencatan dalam proses pematangan tulang, amatlah terhad. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan prevalen kecacatan kraniofasial pesakit talasemia transfusi dependen (TDT) dan hubungan antara kecacatan ini dengan data klinikal. Kajian ini juga adalah untuk membandingkan ukuran sepalometrik, lengkungan gigi dan kematangan tulang vertebra servikal di kalangan pesakit talasemia transfusidependen dengan kumpulan biasa kawalan. Thalassaemia diseases are common in Southeast Asia. However, information about craniofacial and dental arches deformity as well as retardation of skeletal maturation are deficient in this area. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of craniofacial deformity (CFD) in transfusion-dependent thalassaemia (TDT) patients and the association between this deformity and clinical data. It was also to compare cephalometric measurements, dental arches features and cervical vertebral maturation of TDT with a normal control group.
