Hubungan polimorfisme gen vitamin d receptor dengan periodontitis kronis

Abstract

Chronic periodontitis is caused by enhanced resorption of the alveolar bone supporting the teeth and is associated with intraoral in flammation after infection with certain bacteria. Genetic polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are associated with bone homeostasis and immunological reaction. the aim of this study was to determine whether polymorphism in VDR gene exons is associated with the incidence of chronic periodontitis
