Exploring the Impact of DNA and RNA Methylation on Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases

Posted: December 4, 2024
The article delves into the significant role of DNA and RNA methylation in periodontal and peri-implant diseases, highlighting how epigenetic mechanisms influence disease susceptibility and severity. DNA methylation impacts gene expression in periodontitis, leading to elevated enzyme levels and dysregulation of genes involved in inflammatory responses. Similarly, in peri-implant diseases, DNA methylation levels can be altered, affecting bacterial behavior and tissue degradation. Recent insights also point to the involvement of RNA methylation in innate immune responses and bacterial virulence. Understanding these epigenetic dynamics is crucial for comprehending disease progression and treatment strategies in oral health.
