Gene therapy is a fi eld of Biomedicine. With the advent of gene |
|
therapy in dentistry, signifi cant progress has |
|
been made in the control of periodontal diseases and |
|
reconstruction of dento-alveolar apparatus. |
|
Implementation in periodontics include: |
|
-As a mode of tissue engineering with three approaches: cell, |
|
protein-based and gene delivery approach. |
|
-Genetic approach to Biofi lm Antibiotic Resistance. |
|
Future strategies of gene therapy in preventing periodontal |
|
diseases: |
|
-Enhances host defense mechanism against infection by |
|
transfecting host cells with an antimicrobial peptide |
|
protein-encoding gene. |
|
-Periodontal vaccination. |
|
Gene therapy is one of the recent entrants and its applications |
|
in the fi eld of periodontics are reviewed in general |
|
here. |
