Abstract

Many studies from recent years have shown that Interleukin 22 (IL-22) plays a major role in both the defence against certain microbes and the development and maintenance of chronic inflammatory diseases. Periodontal disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, is caused by the interaction between pathogenic bacteria and the host immune system. Further animal and human studies are needed to investigate the role of IL-22 in periodontal health and disease. DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1328
