Abstract
Periodontal epithelium plays a critical role in protection, destruction and repair of human periodontium. During optimal repair, epithelium migrates and covers the wound surface to prevent infection and damage of the vulnerable underlying connective tissue. During periodontal destruction, junctional epithelium undergoes transformation to pocket epithelium that has quite different characteristics from junctional epithelium. In the course of periodontal disease the epithelial attachment to the tooth surface is lost and the epithelium proliferates and extends pseudo-rete ridges deep into the inflamed connective tissue. Both scenarios, repair and destruction, involve active epithelial migration either in the wound provisional matrix or in the inflamed connective tissue matrix, respectively. This review covers recent research data on cellular receptors, integrins, that mediate epithelial cell migration during wound healing and destruction of human periodontium.Keywords
