Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease associated with several risk and susceptibility factors
(66). Risk factors are part of the causal chain, or expose the host to the causal chain. The …

In this systematic review, we explore and summarize the peer‐reviewed literature on
putative genetic risk factors for susceptibility to aggressive and chronic periodontitis. A …

Early‐onset periodontal diseases (EOP) are a heterogeneous group of diseases, sharing
several characteristics including early onset and severe periodontal destruction. Although …

Periodontitis is an infectious, inflammatory disease that is associated with a complex
interplay between specific bacteria, host response, and environmental factors. Because of its …

This review provides an update on genome‐wide association studies in periodontitis.
