Targeting CARMIL1 in Treatment of Periodontitis
EF 2018-19
Résumé
Gum tissue around the teeth provides an important protective and sealing function. This tissue prevents germs from getting into the deeper tissues that hold the tooth to the jaw bone. Currently we don't understand how gum health and function are preserved, particularly when there is inflammation in various types of gum diseases. The purpose of this study is to develop a new and promising approach for control of inflammation and bone loss and to thereby maintain the attachment of the gums to the teeth.
