Differences between the groups were tested by Variance analysis (two factors completely randomized design). It was found that thalassaemia major had significant effects on components of the craniofacial complex: The typical thalassaemic patient had a moderate Class 2 skeletal discrepancy with pronounced vertical mandibular growth direction, prominent mandibular incisors, everted lips, and a narrowed nasal cavity.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEffects of thalassaemia major on components of the craniofacial complexEffects of thalassaemia major on components of the craniofacial complexArticle2321571622-s2.0-0030137686877134110.1179/bjo.23.2.157N/A
