NCT ID NCT00541060
First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study examined whether certain gene changes make young people more likely to develop severe cavities. Researchers compared children and teens with at least three active cavities to cavity-free young adults. They looked for mutations in genes that affect tooth enamel, which could explain why some people are more prone to decay. The goal is to improve prevention and treatment strategies for those at higher genetic risk.
