The Chronogenetics of Caries in Primary Dentition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Abstract
A chronogenetic analysis of caries has been carried out in a sample of 100 twin pairs (27 MZ, 64 DZ, 9 UZ) aged 3-8 years, taking into account the number of decayed teeth and the intensity and severity of caries. Heritability estimates, calculated for each of the various parameters considered, support the hypothesis of a genetic control of the time of onset of caries.
