| Research Abstract |
The results of the present study indicate that the role of diabetes in modulating bone destruction in periodontal disease may involve increased level of LBP and reduced levels of Th2 cytokines. A better understanding of infectious bone resorption in diabetes and the immune response could explain the relationship between periodontitis and diabetes.
