       Gene therapy and its implications in Periodontics

       Gene therapy is a fi eld of Biomedicine. With the advent of gene
       therapy in dentistry, signifi cant progress has
       been made in the control of periodontal diseases and
       reconstruction of dento-alveolar apparatus.
       Implementation in periodontics include:
       -As a mode of tissue engineering with three approaches: cell,
       protein-based and gene delivery approach.
       -Genetic approach to Biofi lm Antibiotic Resistance.
       Future strategies of gene therapy in preventing periodontal
       diseases:
       -Enhances host defense mechanism against infection by
       transfecting host cells with an antimicrobial peptide
       protein-encoding gene.
       -Periodontal vaccination.
       Gene therapy is one of the recent entrants and its applications
       in the fi eld of periodontics are reviewed in general
       here.
