Association of functional gene polymorphism IL-1β in patients with external apical root resorption

Risks and Complications Associated with Orthodontic Treatment

“…7). Genetic factors play an important part in root resorption presence, some associations, like the one with the polymorphism of the IL-1beta gene being demonstrated (Bastos Lages et al, 2009). Some study results suggest that this unwanted side effect is different between ethnic groups.…”

Defining and framing orthodontitis: A new term in orthodontics

“…However, the level of the resorptive activity on the root surface is different, and it is probably individually genetically determined. [13][14][15][16] The remodeling process is being disturbed in the transition between the resorption and the reversal stages. 8,9 The coupling between resorption and apposition disappears or is delayed and, therefore, resorption continues into the dentin.…”

Recent Advances in the Genetics of Orthodontics

“…McFadden et al (1989) indicated that errors in measurement using electronic calipers on lateral cephalometric films were approximately 2.5 times more frequent than the errors using periapical radiographs. Sameshima & Asgarifar (2001) suggested that the use of panoramic radiographs to measure root resorption might overestimate the amount of root loss by 20% or more, and that they are not as precise or reliable as intraoral radiographs (Bastos Lages et al, 2009). To solve this problem, Bastos Lages et al (2009) used periapical radiographs to determine the presence and severity of EARR to reduce the bias related to the diagnosis of EARR by other types of radiographs.…”

In this report, the positive association was replicated in the Brazilian population.…”
