TLDR
Current knowledge of the host response in periodontitis is delineated to delineate the role of innate immunity, the failure of acute inflammation to resolve (thus becoming chronic), the cytokine pathways that regulate the activation of acquired immunity and the cells and products of the immune system are considered.Abstract:
The pathogenesis of periodontitis involves a complex immune/inflammatory cascade that is initiated by the bacteria of the oral biofilm that forms naturally on the teeth. The susceptibility to periodontitis appears to be determined by the host response; specifically, the magnitude of the inflammatory response and the differential activation of immune pathways. The purpose of this review was to delineate our current knowledge of the host response in periodontitis. The role of innate immunity, the failure of acute inflammation to resolve (thus becoming chronic), the cytokine pathways that regulate the activation of acquired immunity and the cells and products of the immune system are considered. New information relating to regulation of both inflammation and the immune response will be reviewed in the context of susceptibility to, and perhaps control of, periodontitis.read more

TL;DR: This study presents the global burden of major oral diseases with an exegetical commentary on their current profiles, the critical issues in oral healthcare and future perspectives, and it is of great importance to integrate oral health into global health agenda via the common risk factor approach.

Periodontitis: A Multifaceted Disease of Tooth-Supporting Tissues.
TL;DR: Periodontitis is an infection-driven inflammatory disease in which the composition of biofilms plays a significant role and characteristically results in irreversible loss of attachment and alveolar bone.

Comparative estimation of sulfiredoxin levels between chronic periodontitis and healthy patients - A case-control study.
TL;DR: Sulfiredoxin levels were significantly higher in the gingival tissues of chronic periodontitis patients than in healthy controls and positively correlated with site-specific probing depth and clinical attachment level.

Innate Immune Recognition
TL;DR: Microbial recognition by Toll-like receptors helps to direct adaptive immune responses to antigens derived from microbial pathogens to distinguish infectious nonself from noninfectious self.

Recognition of double-stranded RNA and activation of NF-kappaB by Toll-like receptor 3.
TL;DR: It is shown that mammalian TLR3 recognizes dsRNA, and that activation of the receptor induces the activation of NF-κB and the production of type I interferons (IFNs).

Toll-like receptors.
TL;DR: This unit discusses mammalian Toll receptors (TLR1‐10) that have an essential role in the innate immune recognition of microorganisms and are discussed are TLR‐mediated signaling pathways and antibodies that are available to detect specific TLRs.

TL;DR: It is shown that the MMPs have functions other than promotion of invasion, have substrates other than components of the extracellular matrix, and that they function before invasion in the development of cancer.

THE NF-κB AND IκB PROTEINS: New Discoveries and Insights
TL;DR: The transcription factor NF-κB has attracted widespread attention among researchers in many fields based on its unusual and rapid regulation, the wide range of genes that it controls, its central role in immunological processes, the complexity of its subunits, and its apparent involvement in several diseases.
