Abstract EN
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by periodontal pocket formation and alveolar bone resorption.
Periodontal bone resorption is induced by osteoclasts and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) which is an essential and central regulator of osteoclast development and osteoclast function.
Therefore, RANKL plays a critical role in periodontal bone resorption.
In this review, we have summarized the sources of RANKL in periodontal disease and explored which factors may regulate RANKL expression in this disease.
