Completed projects

Several research projects within the field of Oral Infections and Inflammations are currently being undertaken by the group. These projects involve both in vitro and in vivo aspects of pre-clinical research. Here is the overview of projects which have been done in the past years:

• Gene expression in salivary glands of Sjögren´s syndrome

• Genetic studies of Fc gamma receptors in Sjögren´s syndrome

• Etiopathogenesis of periodontal disease – searching for disease markers

• Etiopathogenesis in periodontal disease – Studies on integrins in the periodontal ligament

• The Lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTBR) signaling pathway studied in Sjögren´s syndrome like disease in NOD mice

• Regulating mechanisms in teeth

• Lymphangiogenesis during development of apical periodontitis

• Orthodontically induced root and alveolar bone resorption: Inhibitory effect of systemic doxycycline administration in rats

• What causes missing teeth?
