Preservation of Gingival Health and Adhesion Signaling
EF 2011-12
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 the gum is inflamed in various types of gum diseases. The purpose of this study is to define the cell and molecular systems that maintain the attachment of the gums to the teeth and what factors can lead to the breakdown of healthy gums.
