Abstract:
Periodontal disease is a chronic infectious disease characterized by gingival inflammation and progressive destruction of alveolar bone, and the interaction between plaque microbes and host defense affects the process of the disease. Recent studies have found that autophagy is one of the most primitive host defense responses against pathogenic microbial invasion. Autophagy plays an important role in the development of periodontal disease through such functions as clearing pathogens, regulating inflammatory responses and promoting osteoclast activation to affect bone resorption with inflammatory factors. This review article mainly introduces the research advances on autophagy mechanism and the relationship between autophagy and periodontal disease from the domestic and foreign literatures and expounds the mechanism of autophagy and periodontal pathogens, inflammatory reaction and bone resorption of osteoclasts, so as to enrich the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and provide a new perspective for the treatment of periodontal disease.
