INFLUENCE OF MMP 20 GENE POLYMORPHISM IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EROSION OF TEETH IN YOUNG PEOPLE.

Abstract

Introduction. The peculiarity of dental status of youth is high prevalence of caries, erosion of teeth and diseases of periodontal tissues. According to the literature, the role of genetic factors in the formation of physicochemical and morphological properties of the enamel of the tooth is known, which makes it possible to consider that the role of heredity in the development of caries and erosion of teeth is essential (Gorbunova I.L. 2016). Among the informative genetic markers are number of polymorphisms of the gene MMP-20, which encodes the formation of an enzyme-calcium-dependent proteinase, which affects the formation of organic matrix enamel.
