Half of Australia's children suffer tooth decay, placing them at risk of toothache, infection and hospitalisation, as well as a host of other problems like sleeping, eating and concentrating. Current preventive strategies are failing, due to an incomplete understanding of the causes of decay. This study of twins, who have been followed since pregnancy, will help to explain the role of genetics as well as other factors such as maternal and early childhood illness in dental disease.

澳大利亚一半的儿童患有蛀牙，使他们面临牙痛、感染和住院的风险，以及睡眠、饮食和注意力集中等一系列其他问题。由于对腐烂原因的不完全了解，目前的预防策略正在失败。这项对双胞胎的研究自怀孕以来就一直被跟踪，将有助于解释遗传以及其他因素（例如孕产妇和幼儿疾病）在牙科疾病中的作用。
