Assessment of dental caries severity in patients with VDR and СА12 polymorphisms

Abstract

Background: There has been insufficient research into the genetic predisposition to dental caries. Research on the effect of gene polymorphisms on the incidence of dental diseases and the use of these findings in personalized prevention strategies are of high prognostic value.

Aim: To assess the effect of VDR and СА12 polymorphisms on hard tooth tissues in young patients.

Materials and Methods: The study examined 100 individuals, of which 59 (25 males and 34 females aged 23 to 25 years) were divided into groups based on the homozygous polymorphism: group 1 — VDR (n=19); group 2 — СА12 (n=32); and group 3 — combined VDR and CA12 (n=8). The DMF index was calculated in each group by fibreoptic transillumination method. Moreover, the pH of mixed saliva and serum 25(OH)D level (ng/mL) were measured.

Results: In group 1, the DMF index was 15.11±0.15, with 25(ОН)D deficiency (17.4±0.7 ng/mL). In group 2, the DMF index was 16.99±1.43, with changes in the pH of saliva (6.80±0.01). In group 3, the DMF index was 17.92±1.37, with рН 6.30±0.11 and 25(ОН)D level of 13.7±0.4 ng/mL.

Conclusion: Patients with VDR and СА12 polymorphisms had severe dental caries, acidic pH, and a deficiency of serum vitamin В metabolite.
