The inflammatory response to endotoxins is a key factor in the development and progress of periodontal disease, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the pro-inflammatory capacity of salivary fractions are still unclear. This article examines the pro-inflammatory response of gingival fibroblast to the salivary pellet, mediated via the TLR4–NF-kB pathway.
