| description | Periodontitis is an inflammatory mechanism causing step by step destruction of the periodontal tissues and alveolar bone. Periodontal treatment is intended to restore the tissues damaged by the disease. Various periodontal procedures have been introduced to lower the destruction; statins are being one among them. They are cholesterol-reducing drugs which have shown to promote bone formation and proven to be effective in periodontal therapy. However, statins have numerous actions, with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, as well as the capacity to accelerate new bone formation. The pleiotropic effects of statins have been assessed for their prospective advantage in the therapy of several inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases including periodontitis. Such features could be beneficial for periodontal therapies. This article goes through the history and effects of statins and explores its potential role in periodontal regenerative therapy. |
