“…The results achieved in the present study are generally in corroboration with the studies reporting that βthalassemia major patients tend to have a vertical growth in maxillomandibular region and an increase in anterior facial height (3,5,12,27,28,34,35).…”

ObjectiveThe present study aims to compare β-thalassemia major patients and healthy individuals in terms of anthropometric characteristics and changes in craniofacial pro le. Subjects and MethodCraniofacial anthropometric measurements were performed on a total of 422 subjects (199 βthalassemia major patients and 223 healthy individuals) by using a millimetric caliper on 19 anthropometric parameters (8 horizontal, 10 vertical, and 1 head circumference) in cranial, facial, nasal, orolabial, and orbital zones. ResultsThe difference between the orbital, nasal, and orolabial zone parameters of healthy subjects and β-Thalassemia patients was found to be statistically signi cant (p < 0.05). There was no statistically signi cant difference between the groups in terms of head circumference in the cranial zone and total facial height in facial zone (n-gn) values (p 0.05). In intragroup comparison between females and males with β-Thalassemia, statistically signi cant differences were found in forehead width (ft-ft), forehead height (tr-gl), right eye width (R ex-ex), and upper lip height (sn-stm) (p < 0.05). ConclusionUnderstanding the craniofacial pro le changes in β-thalassemia major patients and increasing our knowledge about the relationship between the course and severity of disease and the level of these changes would contribute to the advancements in diagnoses to be made in facial and jaw zones of these patients and in the treatment plans. Clinical RelevanceWe believe that the analysis and results of the craniofacial anthropometric data obtained in the study will contribute to the diagnosis and treatment processes of patients with beta-thalassemia in areas of expertise such as craniofacial surgery, orthodontics, and hemato-oncology.

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and type of mandibular canal branching in a sample of the Iranian population through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. This cross-sectional study was performed on CBCT records of 300 patients (112 males and 188 females; mean age 30.14 ± 10.96 y). The presence of mandibular canal branch (MCB) was evaluated by reconstructing multiple panoramic views and buccolingual cross-sections, according to Naitoh’s classification. The prevalence of MCB, the type of MCB, and the demographic information of all patients were recorded. The maximum number of branching and the maximum type of branching were also registered for each patient. Mandibular canal branching was observed in 131(43.7%) of 300 CBCT images without side or sex differences (P > 0.05). The most frequent type was dental, followed by the retromolar, forward, and buccolingual types, respectively. There was a statistically higher frequency of retromolar canal in females than in males (odds ratio: 1.14 ± 4.25; P = 0.013). About 46% of patients with MCB had more than one accessory canal and 29% displayed more than one type of MCB. The coincidence of dental and retromolar canals in a patient was the most prevalent combination. Considering the relatively high prevalence of MCB (43.7%), it is recommended to keep in mind the possibility of anatomical variations of the inferior alveolar nerve during dental procedures to avoid postsurgical complications. The high possibility of observing multiple numbers and types of branching in the patients should also be considered during preoperative assessments.
