Etiology of Periodontal DiseasesIn our laboratory, we have been focusing on discovering new factors associated with etiology and pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, in particular, a severe type of periodontal destruction, the aggressive periodontitis. In this field, some of our studies are focused on investigating genetic aspects of this condition, by exome analysis and single nucleotide polymorphisms detection, identifying its functionality by in silico and in vivo studies.
Furthermore, since this disease has a strong familial aggregation, studies including affected subjects and their children have shown the possible transference of risk factors for children such as microbial and social patterns. Finally, randomized clinical trials identifying more predictable approaches allows us to promote adequate trea
