摘要
A network of cytokines and other soluble mediators unites the immune system and bone; bacterial infections induce immune responses which may perturb this network. Periodontal diseases are Gram-negative infections resulting in bone loss in the jaw. Evidence is presented that immune responses to these infections produces net resorption of bone.
