Abstract
This paper reviews two groups of haemoglobinopathies: sickle cell disorders and beta-thalassaemias. The medical aspects and dental management of children with these conditions are discussed. These conditions are rare in the white indigenous population of the UK but affect a sizeable proportion of the minority ethnic community. Dentists need to be aware of the medical implications for patients who have these disorders and should co-ordinate their dental care accordingly.Entities:
