Periodontitis is a severe disease of the tooth-supporting apparatus with a very high prevalence worldwide. It can lead to tooth loss, affect quality of life, and impact systemic health. Our Competence Center's research activities focus on different aspects of periodontal research and their translation to the clinic. The subject of examination is molecular and cellular mechanisms, which provide insights into the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and periodontal tissue regeneration.
