Polymerase Chain Reaction and Its Applications in Dentistry

Abstract

A variety of molecular biology methods have become obtainable in the previous years and one of the most innovative of these techniques regarding nucleic acid analysis is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which was first described in 1985. PCR can be preceded by a reverse transcription (RT) reaction in order to produce cDNA from RNA (RT-PCR). RT-PCR provides the possibility to assess gene transcription in cells or tissues. The spotlight of this review is to describe the existing position of the DNA-based method PCR which has become a standard diagnostic and research tool in dentistry.
