Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

From Disease to Illness: Reframing Periodontitis Through an Anthropological Lens
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Periodontitis is at once a disease, an illness, and a sickness—where biological pathology, lived experience, and social meaning intersect. The proposed integrated model links upstream structural actions with downstream clinical and educational practices through feedback loops that promote equitable and effective prevention and care.

High prevalence of human cytomegalovirus in a population of periodontally healthy subjects [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) appears to be more frequent in periodontally affected patients than in healthy control groups. Based on this assumption, it has been suggested that HCMV may play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease.

Hand to Mouth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Association between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Periodontitis [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis are both chronic inflammatory diseases, which demonstrate similarities in terms of mechanism, histopathology, and demography. An association between these conditions has been demonstrated previously
