Abstract Residual ridge resorption (RRR) is the decrease in the jaw structure that follows tooth extraction. It is a
multifactorial disorder, but reports on the associated genetic factors are scarce, particularly amongst the Saudis. This
study aimed to investigate the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in fibroblast growth factor receptor

controls = 96) attending outpatient clinics at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University. Demographic and clinical
data were collected, the digital panoramic dental radiograph was obtained, and mandibular residual ridge height… More >
