The Cytokines : Signalling Molecules of Periodontium

Periodontics is a rapidly changing branch of dentistry with new scientific revelations unveiling many mysteries with each passing day. The elucidation of role of cytokines in maintaining tissue homeostasis as well in mediating periodontal tissue destruction has opened doors to insight of molecular mechanisms regulating periodontium.This book provides latest information on almost all aspects of cytokines as applied to clinical periodontics. An understanding of role of cytokines in periodontal health, disease and wound healing is likely to yield tangible benefits in periodontal diagnosis and therapy to an extent previously thought to be impossible.
