    Abstract:
    The paper reports the findings of a study of 46 subjects affected by beta-thalassemia major who underwent periodic transfusion therapy. A reduced incidence of the caries process was observed, above all in subjects treated from the first months of life. After a short review of the main problems posed by these patients during dental treatment, the Authors propose a course of preventive antibiotic treatment to be carried out before the start of dental work.
