Description

Using paired plaque and gingival transcriptome records and an independent disease health validation cohort, we found that high burdens of key periodontal pathogens track with thousands of gingival expression changes and that diseased sites show broad enrichment of immune, apoptosis, and signaling pathways consistent with established periodontitis biology.
