immune responses in the process of periodontitis and periimplantitis 

Research Expertise

Area of Research Expertise:

My research goal is to expand the knowledge of innate immune responses under the challenge of periodontitis. To clarify the interactions of immune system and periodontal pathogens, we can improve the treatment outcomes of both periodontitis and periimplantitis.
