Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether genetic factors influence variation in salivary levels of the mutans streptococci (MS) in preschool twins. DESIGN: The study population consisted of 48 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) twins and 54 pairs of dizygotic (DZ) twins. Genotyping eight highly polymorphic DNA markers determined zygosity. Demographic data and antibiotic exposure as reported by mothers...
