Patients with bad oral hygiene care may not have dental calculus, while those with good oral hygiene care can have a high amount of dental calculus.
Matrix-gla protein (MGP) is associated with the calcification process.
There is a possible relationship between MGP gene polymorphisms and dental calculus.
A statistically significant difference was not observed in the genotype distribution of the MGP rs4236 [A/G] polymorphism.
We report that MGP concentrations in patients with dental calculus increased locally.
