They are inherited like hair color and height.

This project is designed to study a biological marker

Diet
Host Defense

The oral soft tissue and saliva make defenses

against bacteria.
These defenses include beta-defensins, natural
antibiotics.
We believe that these beta-defensins help to
prevent dental caries.

Oral hygiene and systemic diseases

Several recent clinical
studies show a direct link
between poor oral hygiene
(oral bacteria & oral
infections) and serious
systemic diseases, such as:
[13][14]

Cardiovascular Disease
(Heart attack and Stroke)
Bacterial Pneumonia
Low Birth Weight/Extreme
High Birth Weight
Diabetes complications
Osteoporosis

Teeth cleaning
Teeth cleaning is the removal ofdental plaqueandtartarfrom
teethto preventcavities,gingivitis, andgum disease. Severe
gum disease causes at least one-third of adulttooth loss.
Tooth Decay is the most common global disease affecting
every family. Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures
on chewing surfaces where brushing cannot reach food left
trapped after every meal or snack and saliva or fluoride have
no access to neutralise acid and remineralise demineralised
tooth like on easy to reach surfaces where few cavities occur.
Fissure sealants dentists apply over grooves in chewing
surfaces of back teeth, block food being trapped and halt the
decay process. An elastomer strip has been shown to force
sealant deeper inside all opposing chewing surfaces at the
same time and can also force fluoride toothpaste inside
chewing surfaces before brushing to remineralise
demineralised teeth.

Teeth cleaning
Since before recorded history, a variety of oral hygiene measures have been
used for teeth cleaning. This has been verified by various excavations done
all over the world, in whichchew sticks, treetwigs, birdfeathers, animal
bonesandporcupinequills were recovered. Many people used different forms
of teeth cleaning tools.Indianmedicine (Ayurveda) has used theneem tree
(a.k.a.daatun) and its products to createteeth cleaning twigsand similar
products for millennia. A person chews one end of the neem twig until it
somewhat resembles the bristles of atoothbrush, and then uses it to brush
the teeth. In theMuslimworld, themiswak, orsiwak, made from a twig or
root withantisepticproperties has been widely used since theIslamic
Golden Age. Rubbingbaking sodaorchalkagainst the teeth was also
common.
Generally, dentists recommend that teeth be cleaned professionally at least
twice per year. Professional cleaning includestooth scaling,tooth polishing,
and, if too much tartar has built up,debridement. This is usually followed by
a fluoride treatment. However, there is no good evidence that scaling and
polishing is cost-effective.[4]
Between cleanings by a dental hygienist, good oral hygiene is essential for
preventing tartar build-up which causes the problems mentioned above. This
is done by carefully and frequently brushing with atoothbrushand the use
ofdental flossto prevent accumulation of plaque on the teeth. [5]
