Monozygotic twins are discordant for chronic periodontitis: clinical and bacteriological findings.

Journal of clinical periodontology - 1 Feb 2010

Torres de Heens Gaudy L, Loos Bruno G, van der Velden Ubele

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess, in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs in whom the proband of the twin pair was suffering from moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, the contribution of genetics, periodontal pathogens and lifestyle factors towards the clinical phenotype. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For this study, 18 adult twin pairs were selected on the basis of interproximal attachment...
