External root resorption (EARR) and interleukin-1β (rs1143634) gene polymorphism in the Bataknese population: A pilot study

Abstract

External apical root resorption (EARR) is a condition that frequently arises after orthodontic treatment.Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is the gene responsible for the initiation of bone resorption and activating the osteoclasts, and is responsible for the potential of root resorption development. This study investigated the presence of a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs1143634) in IL-1β gene and its relationship with
