Research Abstract |
In order to clarify the mechanism of Periodontal diseases, we characterized the immunoregulatory effect by Th17 cells in the inflamed gingiva of mice with alveolar bone resorption. In this study, we employ Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitansone, one of the higher risk factors for induce of inflammation to gingiva and alveolar bone loss.
