Disease relevance of Periodontium

  • A unique characteristic of the localized inflammatory tissue in the periodontium (e.g., adult periodontitis [AP]) is the accumulation of IgG (IgG1 > IgG2 > IgG3 > or = IgG4) followed by IgA plasma cells (IgA1 > IgA2) [1].
  • To investigate the antibacterial activity of mucosal Th1 and Th2 immune responses induced nasally and orally, mice were immunized with mucosal vaccine containing fimbrial protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a causative agent for a destructive chronic inflammation in the periodontium, and cholera toxin (CT) as mucosal adjuvant [2].
  • Hormonal influences: effects of diabetes mellitus and endogenous female sex steroid hormones on the periodontium [3].
  • Therefore, phenol-water extractive components of Mycoplasma salivarium might be of pathogenic importance in mediating damaging effects on the periodontium [4].
  • MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tissue samples were collected from patients with healthy periodontium (H group), adult periodontitis (P group), surgically extracted teeth (S group), and nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth (NIGO group) [5].

Gene context of Periodontium

  • Analysis of our data indicates that the cells within the periodontium are up-regulated to produce MMP-8, and the increased expression and activation of GCF MMP-8 reflect enhanced periodontal remodeling induced by orthodontic force [28].
  • Considering the potential immunoregulatory roles played by IFN-gamma, our data suggest that IFN-gamma may be involved in periodontium remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement [29].
  • These results suggest that amelogenin, as well as ameloblastin, might have some 'growth factor' activity during periodontium development and regeneration [30].
  • It has been demonstrated that outer-membrane proteins as well as lipopolysaccharides from P. gingivalis ATCC 53977 can induce interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-8 from the cells of the periodontium in vitro [31].
  • These findings suggest that CD44 isoform expression is cell type-specifically regulated in periodontium and altered according to growth phase of HGEC [32].
