Abstract
Dental Alterations in Sickle Cell Disease
Highlights
Sickle cell disease (SCD) occurs due to a genetic mutation that results in amino acid substitution of valine to glutamic acid at position 6 of the adult B-globin chain
We focused on dental complications in SCD patients, which require specialized dental care and awareness among dental practitioners
Delayed eruption of teeth has been reported in SCD patients, where disturbances in growth and development such as ischemic infarctions of the maxilla and mandible play a major role in such anomalies [5]
