Description
Gingipains in Periodontal Pathogenesis is a comprehensive exploration of the role of gingipains, a group of proteolytic enzymes produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis, in the development and progression of periodontal diseases. These enzymes are key virulence factors in periodontal pathogenesis, influencing host immune responses, tissue degradation, and bacterial survival. This book provides an in-depth look at the biochemical mechanisms by which gingipains contribute to periodontal destruction, and it highlights their potential as therapeutic targets in managing periodontal diseases. With contributions from leading experts in the field, this book serves as an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and students of periodontal medicine.
