摘要
A comparison of the total caries experience (DMF and dmf) of 100 pairs of monozygotic twins with that of 120 pairs of like-sexed dizygotic twins revealed highly significant differences in within-pair variances (F-test) between the groups. This confirms the findings of several workers, although not in agreement with the results of others, and would appear to indicate the presence of a genetic factor in the caries process. Further analysis of the data would be required to determine at what level this factor may be operating. © 1979.
