| Research Abstract |
In this project, we investigated the relevance of periodontal condition and markers for common systemic diseases. The results revealed that, in middle-aged subjects, the abnormalities of systemic data were seen more frequently in subjects with periodontal problems. We also looked at the mechanisms of bone resorption under chronic inflammatory condition, and demonstrated that osetoprotegerin, a molecule that regulate bone resorption, was clearly induced when monocytes differentiate into macrophages. The results are considered to be useful for early detection of periodontitis and prevention of alveolar bone loss.
