Abstract: Aims: To find differences in mesiodistal tooth width in Iraqi B thalassemia compared with normal individuals. Setting and design: 44 subjects, 22 thalassemia (11 males, 11 females) (12.5–22) years, and 22 control (11 males, 11 females) 14–23 years. Methods and Material: Registrations of MD for maxillary and mandibular teeth from the first molar on one side to analogous tooth on the other side were done. Statistical analysis: Mean, standard deviation and 2-sampled t-test were used. Results: In both groups, males’ crown size was greater than females. In the study group largest gender variances appear in the maxillary molars, mandibular molar, maxillary central and maxillary canine respectively. In control, the greatest sexual difference is present in the maxillary first premolar followed by the mandibular second premolar. The means of mesiodistal in both sexes in thalassemia were smaller than in control except in male maxillary central and lateral and female maxillary lateral incisor. In the maxilla, a significant decrease in mesiodistal thalassemia is present in canine and second premolar in both sexes. In the mandible, a significant decrease in thalassemia was present in all comparisons in both genders in comparison with the control. The greatest mesiodistal difference in the mandibular male is present in the first molar, first premolar, second premolar, canine, lateral and central incisor respectively. In female mandibular teeth, the greatest difference is present in the first molar followed by the first premolar, second premolar, canine, lateral incisor and central incisor. Conclusions: Means mesiodistal dimensions in thalassemia show a significant reduction in mandibular teeth and maxillary canine and second premolar in both genders.
