Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Evidence exists that a genetic component in caries susceptibility is related to variation in enamel formation genes. The purpose of this study was to explore the trends of demineralization and remineralization of teeth from individuals whose genotypes for selected genes (ENAM, MMP20, TUFT, TFIP, and AMBN) are known. METHODS: In this study, primary baseline teeth (20) were exposed to an artificial caries...
