Abstract excerpt
The causal relationship between systemic inflammation and dental caries remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the bidirectional causal association between circulating cytokines and the risk of dental caries. A bidirectional 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted. Genetic instruments for 132 circulating cytokines were obtained from 2 large-scale genome-wide association study consortia...
