Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism as a Risk Factor for Chronic Periodontitis: Indian Scenario -A Short Review
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Dental Science Research (Quest Journals JMDSR) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Chronic Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease affecting the tooth supporting tissues, and is highly prevalent in India. It is multifactorial in nature which is initiated by bacteria but many risk factors including gene polymorphism play an important role in its pathogenesis. Studies on association of gene polymorphism of Vitamin D receptor with chronic periodontitis have been reported in various ethnicities worldwide; however there are very few studies reported in Indian population. This short review attempts to give an overview on the importance and the status of studies on Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism in India.
