Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between specific genetic variations (SNPs) in the COX-2 gene and the occurrence of external apical root resorption (EARR) in patients after orthodontic treatment.*
-
- Data was collected from 143 orthodontic patients, with analyses focusing on the maxillary central incisors and first mandibular molars, and two SNPs (rs5275 and rs689466) were genotyped using real-time PCR.*
-
- Results show that patients carrying one copy of the G allele for SNP rs5275 have a significant increase in EARR for mandibular molars, suggesting that COX-2 genetic factors may influence the risk of root resorption during orthodontic care.*
