Enamel formation genes influence enamel microhardness before and after cariogenic challenge.

Enamel formation genes influence enamel microhardness before and after cariogenic challenge.

There is evidence for a genetic component in caries susceptibility, and studies in humans have suggested that variation in enamel formation genes may contribute to caries. For the present study, we used DNA samples collected from 1,831 individuals from various population data sets. Single nucleotide...
