Evaluation of enamel properties in patients with genetic markers for caries, indicating potential areas for preventive care.

Higher DMFT index associated with TUFT1C/C genotype, implying genetic links to caries risk.
Statistical correlation found between lower enamel calcium content and higher DMFT index (p = 0.003), highlighting mineral composition importance.
Observational assessment of enamel properties used microhardness and calcium content measurements, providing comprehensive data on structural integrity.
Results suggest dental management may focus on biofilm prevention despite no significant changes in enamel properties observed.

Obeid et al. (2025) studied this question.
