Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the impact of gene polymorphisms in VDR and MMP3 on caries and the efficacy of genetic factors in a novel caries risk model. METHODS AND MATERIALS: After oral examination of male individuals (aged 20-44), a diagnosis was made according to the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index: Group 1 'high caries risk' (DMFT ≥ 14); Group 2 'low caries risk' (DMFT ≤ 5) (n = 162)....
