Human genetics in oral medicine: A review

Abstract

In this modern era, oral health practice has become evidence-based dentistry. Genes are hereditary blueprints of human beings. Studies at the molecular levels have revolutionized maxillofacial disorders, and genomic information has done wonders to the cause. This article reviews the previous and current application of human genetics in craniofacial development and disorders, which may lead to individualized treatment and prevention plans in the future.
