Genetics and Hereditary in Orthodontics

In the oral cavity, disruptions caused by genetic changes can vary from tooth agenesis to the morphological disorders. Because of advancements in the genetic engineering and molecular biology, vital information about dento-facial development might be researched in depth. This aids in the explanation of etiology and pathogenesis of numerous dento-facial illnesses. Efficacy of treatment is contingent upon first understanding the etiology of dental anomalies and then differentiating the effects of the genes and also environment on particular individual's orofacial illnesses. Several biological processes, including orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), external apical root resorption, and issues with tooth development and/or eruption, are influenced by genetic factors. Consequently, Treatment results for many patients can be improved when a practitioner has a thorough understanding of the genetic variables that cause OTM and some of the genetically driven challenges connected with OTM.
