ABSTRACT
Abstract

Introduction:

Genetics has been suggested as an explanation for the etiology of malocclusions, although some questions, due to the perception that genetic inheritance is tied to a monogenic or Mendelian form of inheritance.

Objective:

This paper describes the inheritance of malocclusions, highlighting the areas of knowledge where research has explored mechanisms that explain deviations in patterns of craniofacial growth.

Conclusion:

Malocclusions have a complex or multifactorial pattern of inheritance, where more than one gene is involved in the development of the phenotype. There is also the possibility that the environment influences malocclusions.
RESUMO
Resumo

Introdução:

a genética tem sido proposta como uma explicação para a ocorrência das más oclusões, mas isso é questionável, pois a percepção do significado de herança genética está vinculada à herança mendeliana ou monogênica.

Objetivo:

o presente artigo visa discorrer sobre a herança das más oclusões e ressaltar as áreas do conhecimento nas quais a pesquisa tem explorado mecanismos que explicam a ocorrência de desvios do padrão de crescimento facial.

Conclusão:

as más oclusões têm um padrão de herança complexo ou multifatorial, no qual mais de um gene está envolvido no desenvolvimento do fenótipo. Isso quer dizer que existe, também, uma potencial influência do ambiente nas más oclusões.
