Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases
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
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.

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...
