155
Q

How does saliva work as part of the immune response

A

Aids the ingestion of bacteria
Contains antibacterial substances lysozome and IgA
Swallowing bacteria > activation of lymphocytes
lymphocytes travel to salivary gland and secrete IgA
Binds to bacteria disrupting their attachment

162
Q

Which cells are antigen presenting

A

B lymphocytes

Macrophages

163
Q

Q

What is host modulation therapy

A

Involves reducing the destructive components of the host response in periodontitis so that the periodontal breakdown is reduced and wound healing is enhanced
