Abstract:
There are many kinds of oral hereditary diseases. Although some attempts have been tried to find the genetics of those diseases, still fewer information are available than the other hereditary diseases at present. Much is needed to do in the future. This article reviewed some cutting-edge findings on the genetics of several oral hereditary diseases including hereditary diseases involving the teeth, periodontal tissues, soft and hard tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region, as well as cleft lip and palate.
