Abstract

Periodontal diseases are a group of inflammatory/infectious, multifactorial, diseases. The periodontal tissues house both microbial dysbiosis and host response dysregulation [1]. The most recent hypothesis about the pathogenesis of periodontal disease deals with the biological transition from a healthy periodontal tissue to a pathological one (characterized by inflammation and loss of clinical attachment). This transition is mediated by the dysregulation of the inflammatory response, caused by the presence of keystone pathogens. These bacteria (i.e. Porphyromonas gingivalis) differ from normal commensal bacteria: they are able to alter the inflammatory response even in minimal quantities [2,3].
