Book Description
Individual susceptibility to disease (i.e., one's own genetic background) is one of the three main components classically described in the etiology of dental caries. Hence, genes influence susceptibility to erosive tooth wear, dental development, and response to treatments and interventions. This publication is an up-to-date overview of individual susceptibility to dental caries, erosive tooth wear, and disturbances of dental development from different clinically relevant perspectives. One of the most recognized scientists in this field reports on recent research relating to human genetics - from general summaries to recommendations for daily clinical work and population-level interventions. This book covers all aspects of individual susceptibility to dental caries and erosive tooth wear. Several chapters deal with potential biological mechanisms, with additional ones providing a strong foundation in human genetics, and other chapters touch on efficacy of therapies and alternative concepts. This book is particularly recommended to dental medicine students, practitioners, other oral healthcare professionals, and scientists with an interest in translational research on dental caries and erosive tooth wear.

Book Description
This book explains the genetic basis of a wide range of dental disorders, including dental caries, periodontitis, congenital anomalies, malocclusions, orofacial pain, dental implant failure, and cancer. Such conditions are typically multifactorial or complex, with involvement of more than one gene as well as environmental influences. A sound grasp of this framework is ever more important, given the emergence of consumer genomics, including direct-to-consumer genetic testing. Dental professionals now need to understand why one person is susceptible to a particular oral health condition while a first-degree relative either does not develop the condition or does so in a less severe form. Knowledge of how genes operate in the susceptible host is essential if patients are to be offered accurate advice about their risks. The information provided in this book will assist in the delivery of effective personalized dental care through optimization of preventive strategies. It will enable the practitioner to explain the extent to which a patient’s condition is pure "bad luck", whether that bad luck can be changed by behavioral choices, and how many of our behaviors are influenced by genes.

Book Description
Oftentimes dentists have patients who continuously have issues with dental caries. These patients follow the advice of dentists by properly brushing and flossing their teeth, as well as adjusting their diets to aid in the maintenance of their teeth. However, these precautions patients adhere to are not universally successful; many still find themselves susceptible to frequent dental caries. Therefore, it is important to understand the genetic underpinnings to explain why some are more prone to dental caries than others. This knowledge can further be applied in researching targeted gene therapies to prevent dental caries formation, while simultaneously altering the standard treatment plan. There has been promising therapeutic research to select genes for strong enamel growth and healthy saliva, as well as genes that attack and prevent bacteria in the mouth. The usage of gene therapy is subject to controversy in Jewish law. However, these specific therapies should escape this controversy, as there is a health motivation for its allowance. Both Judaism and science mutually agree that maintaining proper oral care is crucial to the health of the mouth.

Book Description
Genetic factors have been proved to be involved in almost all dental and craniomaxillofacial diseases. Typical dental and craniomaxillofacial hereditary diseases refer to hereditary diseases which occurs in the oral and maxillofacial area, as well as systemic or other system hereditary diseases accompanied by oral abnormality. The former includes enamel hypoplasia, dentin hypoplasia and cleft lip and palate, which mainly occur in the oral cavity. While the latter commonly includes cranial clavicle hypoplasia, congenital ectodermal hypoplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, and osteosclerosis. In addition, common diseases that appear locally in the oral cavity, including caries, periodontitis, oral mucosal diseases and head and neck tumors, are also considered to be related to genetic variations. With the increase of large-scale genome-wide association analysis study (GWAS) during the last decade, common loci for many genetic diseases have been identified. To date, most evidence comes from GWAS of dental caries and periodontal disease, which have tested associations between millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and typical binary phenotypes. However, genetic loci for other rare oral diseases remain to be studied due to their large variety and low incidence. Multi-omics sequencing technology provides a more powerful tool for identifying the pathogenic genes of dental and craniomaxillofacial hereditary diseases at genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic level. In addition, with the development of single-cell multi-omics technology, specific cell populations involved in the pathogenesis of dental and craniomaxillofacial hereditary disease can be more accurately identified at single-cell resolution.
