ABSTRACT

The increase in life span of the human being leads to the appearance of new challenges for the health sciences. As a result of getting old, chronic and degenerative diseases started to occupy a predominant role in clinical research in the last decades. It is the case of degenerative processes that occur in the oral cavity after teeth loss.Mandibular residual ridge resorption is a widely studied process from the middle of last century and muchresearch relate this process with multiple factors. Recently, the understanding of the biological processes that occur after tooth extraction has been amplified.In this work, genetic factors involved in mandibular residual ridge resorption are discussed and the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms of some genes and mandibular residual ridge resorptionare stablished.

Keywords:

Mandibular residual ridge resorption, Associated genetic factors, Single nucleotide polymorphism
