ABSTRACT
Periodontal diseases are complex bacteria-induced infections characterised by an inflammatory host response toplaque microbiota and their by-products. Most of these microorganisms have virulence factors capable of causingmassive tissue destruction both directly, through tissue invasion and the production of harmful substances, or indirectly,by activation of host defense mechanisms, creating an inflammatory infiltrate of potent catabolic activitythat can interfere with normal host defense mechanisms. In response to the aggression, host defense mechanismsactivate innate and adaptive immune responses. Our aim is to offer a general overview of the main mechanismsinvolved in the host response to bacterial aggression in periodontitis, such as lipopolysaccharide receptor CD14,complement system, polymorphonuclear neutrophils, antibodies and immunoglobulins (AU)
