Produktinformationen zu „Genetic Basis of Oral Health Conditions (PDF)“
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.

He has created the Dental Registry and DNA Repository (DRDR), the first project in the world to keep DNA samples linked to a comprehensive dataset of dental clinical information. Dr. Vieira has received numerous awards and honors, including, on three occasions, the IADR/AADR William J. Gies Award for best clinical research paper published in the Journal of Dental Research.
