Abstract

Molecular biology is the branch of biology which deals with the molecular bases of the biological activity, through the study of two of the most important biomolecules –proteins and nucleic acids- and the interactions established between them. During the last ten years, the development and application of different molecular biology techniques in the fields of oral biology and dentistry permitted to contribute substantial amounts of information and knowledge to both fields, and to strengthen the approach known as evidence based dentistry. In spite of their importance, many of these techniques remain still barely known, or even unknown, to many odontologists. This is due, in part, to the difficulty in accessing to the proper information, presented in a clear and understandable way, of the basic concepts behind these techniques and their potential applications. In this series of papers, we will address these subjects with the aim of permitting our students and colleagues a first contact with some of the most frequently used molecular techniques in the field of oral biology.
