Fathoming the Role of Host Defence Peptides in Periodontal Health and Disease

Abstract: The periodontal epithelium neighbouring the tooth is precise to form a seal and attachment around the tooth. This function is challenged by development of bacterial biofilm and the host response to biofilm bacteria and their toxins leading to certain vulnerabilities allied with periodontal disease. Oral epithelial cells counters the microbial challenges from dental plaque by the production of host defence peptides (HDP's), chemokines and cytokines that boost inflammation and immune response of periodontal tiss… Show more
