Caries induced cytokine network in the odontoblast layer of human teeth
24 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immunologic responses of the tooth to caries begin with odontoblasts recognizing carious bacteria. Inflammatory propagation eventually leads to tooth pulp necrosis and danger to health. The present study aims to determine cytokine gene expression profiles generated within human teeth in response to dental caries in vivo and to build a mechanistic model of these responses and the downstream signaling...
