Genetic disturbances during dental development influence variation of number and shape of
the dentition. In this study, we tested if genetic variation in enamel formation genes is …

Despite some evidence of genetic and environmental factors on molar-incisor
hypomineralization (MIH), its aetiology remains unclear. This family-based genetic …

Background This study aimed to produce the latest summary of the evidence for association
of host genetic variants contributing to both periodontal diseases and caries. Materials and …

Hard dental tissues possess a complex hierarchical structure that is particularly evident in
enamel, the most mineralised substance in the human body. Its complex and interlinked …

Early childhood caries (ECC) is a chronic, infectious disease that affects the primary
dentition of young children. It is the result of an imbalance of risk factors and protective …

Recent progress in the field of molecular biology and techniques of DNA sequence analysis
allowed determining the meaning of hereditary factors of many common human diseases …

Dental caries (tooth decay) is the most common chronic disease, worldwide, affecting most
children and adults. Though dental caries is highly heritable, few caries-related genes have …

Background The association between caries index, which is diagnosed by Decayed,
