There is strong evidence that genetic as well as environmental factors affect the
development of periodontitis, and some suggestion that aggressive and chronic forms of 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 …

We aimed to conduct a review of the literature for gene polymorphisms associated with
chronic periodontitis (CP) susceptibility. A comprehensive search of the literature in English …

Periodontitis is a collection of chronic inflammatory diseases that are caused by specific
bacteria. The bacteria activate inflammatory mechanisms in the periodontal tissues that …

Although specific bacteria, dental plaque, and age are associated with periodontal disease,
there are currently no reliable predictors of periodontitis severity. Studies in twins have …

Abstract Introduction: IL‐4 and IL‐13 polymorphisms have been shown to influence the
susceptibility to systemic diseases. In this study, possible associations between the IL‐4 …

Background: Genetic polymorphisms at interleukin (IL)‐1α and IL‐1β were recently
suggested to be associated with severity of adult periodontitis. We evaluated whether these …

Background and Objective Genetic markers associated with disease are often non‐
functional and generally tag one or more functional “causative” variants in linkage …

This article critically reviews the evidence for a role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of
aggressive periodontitis and discusses the study approaches commonly used to identify …

Background, aims: Early onset periodontal diseases (EOP) are a group of inflammatory
disorders characterised by a rapid rate of periodontal tissue destruction, in young individuals …
