GINGIVAL CREVICULAR FLUID BIOMARKERS EXPRESSION DURING THE TOOTH ERUPTION

Abstract

During odontogenesis, the interactions between the epithelium and the adjacent mesenchyme involve the participation of a complex system consisting of signaling molecules, corresponding receptors and transcriptional control systems. In this context, the tooth eruption is accompanied by numerous periodontal changes including bone remodeling and regressive changes in the periodontal ligament causing an increase in local cytokine production (MMP, TIMP). Understanding the ongoing process occurring in periodontal tissues during tooth development can prevent adverse consequences associated with eruption disturbances.
