The role of the immunological mechanisms in the development of periodontal disease. THe cellular and humoral immune mechanisms and their possible role in the development of periodontal disease are reviewed. In tissues, exposed to a bacterial challenge, these mechanisms are protective as well as destructive for the host. A specific etiological relationship between periodontal disease and certain oral microorganisms could only be found for a few species. A series of laboratory tests can yield information concerning the immunological incompetence during the evolution of the disease. To allow for a correlation with the immunological and bacterilogical findings, a well-defined clinical classification of the different disease entities is necessary.
免疫机制在牙周病发生发展中的作用。本文综述了细胞免疫和体液免疫机制及其在牙周病发生发展中可能发挥的作用。在受到细菌攻击的组织中，这些机制对宿主既具有保护作用，也具有破坏作用。仅在少数几种细菌中发现了牙周病与某些口腔微生物之间特定的病因关系。一系列实验室检测能够提供有关疾病发展过程中免疫功能不全的信息。为了将免疫和细菌学研究结果进行关联，有必要对不同疾病实体进行明确的临床分类。
