The Overlooked Individual: Susceptibility to Dental Caries, Erosive Tooth Wear and Amelogenesis

Individual susceptibility to disease (i.e., one’s own genetic background) is one of the three main components classically described in the etiology of dental caries. Hence, genes influence susceptibility to erosive tooth wear, dental development, and response to treatments and interventions.
