Popis: Recent research works in the field of periodontics have elaborated on a wide range of treatment modalities for the treatment of periodontal disease. One such approach for controlling the host-mediated periodontal tissue destruction is host modulation therapy (HMT). Used as an adjunct to standard periodontal therapy HMT is proved as a valid treatment option. The present article reviews different pharmacotherapeutic agents used for host modulation.
