nfluence of Klk4 Gene Polymorphism in the Evaluation of Erosion of Teeth in People with Thyroid Dysfunction

Abstract

Introduction: Erosion of teeth is the most common group, except caries, of diseases of hard tissues of teeth. Their frequency varies in the range of 6-14% (Richards D., 2013). The issue of predicting their development, especially in people with thyroid dysfunction, remains highly relevant. New methods of diagnosing of teeth erosion on the background of endocrine disorders with the use of genetic markers are of interest, among which the most promising is KLK4 gene. The aim is to determine the influence of KLK4 gene polymorphism in the occurrence of teeth erosion on the background of thyroid dysfunction.
