Prognosis versus actual outcome. IV. The effectiveness of clinical parameters and IL-1 genotype in accurately predicting prognoses and tooth survival.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recently, a genetic marker (IL-1 genotype) that identifies individuals at higher risk for developing severe periodontal disease was discovered. A subgroup of the population reported on earlier was evaluated to determine if knowledge of the patient's IL-1 genotype would improve accuracy in assignment of prognoses and prediction of tooth loss. METHODS: This subgroup consisted of 42 patients (1,044...
