Abstract:Background:
Gene variations affecting taste preference and glucose consumption have recently been linked to dental caries.
Aims:
Possible associations between dental caries and the TAS1R2 gene polymorphisms rs35874116 and rs9701796 have been investigated, but conflicting results have been found. Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to find comprehensive and more specific results in this direction.
