Increase in receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand/osteoprotegerin ratio in peri-implant gingiva exposed to Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide

Increase in receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand/osteoprotegerin ratio in peri-implant gingiva exposed to Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide

Background/purpose: The prevalence of peri-implant diseases, including peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, is increasing. The aim of this study was to elucidate the pathological mechanisms of inflammation and alveolar bone resorption in peri-implant tissues. To do this, we fabricated inflam...
