Abstract
Periodontal diseases are chronic inflammatory diseases characterized by the destruction of the tooth-supporting structures. They are the most prevalent form of bone pathology in humans and act as a modifying factor of the systemic health of patients. Accumulating evidence has provided insight into mechanisms of periodontal inflammation revealing that oral pathogens induce inflammatory cascades, including a variety of cytokines produced by different cell types, which promotes host-mediated tissue destruction. Cytokine networks established in diseased periodontal tissues are extremely complex, and substances regulating immuno-inflammatory reactions and signaling pathways, in addition to traditional periodontal treatment, could potentially be targeted as an approach for prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases. Diacerein, a purified anthraquinone derivative, was derived originally from plants with profound anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Its wide range of biological activities have been applied and discussed for several decades; however, studies of diacerein have mainly concentrated on effects on joint-derived tissues/cells, which suggest a beneficial role in osteoarthritis treatment. Diacerein reduces associat...Continue Reading
