Abstract
Background and objectives
Pulp calcification is associated with many factors and triggers, including individual genetic predisposition and orthodontic forces. This study aimed to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms in epidermal growth factor (EGF), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR1), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1), and transforming growth factor-beta receptor 2 (TGFβR2) are associated with a risk of dental pulp calcifications in orthodontic patients.
Materials and methods
Digital orthopantomography (OPG) and genomic DNA from 132 patients were analyzed in this cross-sectional study. Pulp calcification was observed in the maxillary and mandibular first molars. Genomic DNA extracted from saliva cells was used to genotype eight genetic polymorphisms using real-time polymerase chain reaction: EGF (rs2237051 and rs4444903), EGFR (rs2227983 and rs763317), TGFβ1 (rs1800469 and rs4803455), and TGFβR2 (rs3087465 and rs764522). The association between pulp calcification and genetic polymorphisms was analyzed using allelic and genotypic distributions, and haplotype frequencies (P < 0.05).
Results
The prevalence of pulp calcification was 42.4 % in 490 molars. Genotypic analysis and allelic distribution showed no statistically significant association between the evaluated growth factors and molar calcification (P > 0.05). No haplotype combinations showed a statistically significant difference (P > 0.05).
Conclusion
The genetic polymorphisms investigated were not associated with dental pulp calcification in orthodontic patients. Further studies should investigate other polymorphisms in genes encoding growth factors.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
