Arthritic disease aggravates periodontal P. gingivalis infection in an ovalbumin T-cell receptor induced arthritis model

Abstract

My MSc project was to investigate the link between the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD) by using an murine model. The main aim of this study is to determine if PD could aggravates RA by detecting the RA biomarker and measuring the loss of the alveolar bone .
