Objectives Enterococcus faecalis is the bacterial species closely related to persistent
infection in root canals. Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is the most commonly detected …

Introduction We wished to examine the effects of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization
domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome on periapical periodontitis induced …

Background: Oral commensals contribute to microbe-host symbiosis in periodontal
homeostasis, and Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) as the keystone pathogen …

Introduction Recent studies of inflammasome activation have focused on the pathogenesis
of diverse inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Inflammasome activation results in …

Objective Porphyromonas gingivalis is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory
periodontal disease. Recent studies have suggested that the NLRP3 inflammasome plays …

Periodontitis is an infectious process characterized by inflammation affecting the supporting
structures of the teeth. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major oral bacterial species implicated …

Aim To explore the presence and function of NLRP6‐caspase 4 inflammasome in human
pulp tissue and human dental pulp cells (HDPCs). Methodology Pulp tissue was collected …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram‐negative anaerobic bacterium that has been
considered to be one of the bacteria associated with progression of human periodontitis …

Background Gingival epithelial cells are the major population of the gingival tissue, acting as
the front-line defense against microbial intrusion and regulating the homeostasis of the …

Aim To investigate the ability of E. faecalis to cause apoptosis and pyroptosis of human
osteoblastic MG 63 cells and whether the inflammasome is involved in this process …
