Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In periodontitis, genetics and smoking play important roles in host immune system response. The aim of this study is to determine whether the genetic background of initial periodontitis and caries could be detected using an active matrix metalloproteinase (aMMP)-8 chairside test in Finnish adolescents. METHODS: Forty-seven participants gave approval for analysis of both oral fluid collection and DNA....
