MicroRNAs in periodontal disease: from pathogenic mechanisms and RANKL/OPG regulation to nanoparticle delivery and personalized medicine

Synthesis of microRNA roles, diagnostics, delivery platforms, and precision medicine strategies for periodontal disease research and translational potential.

Key Takeaways
  • MiR-146a, miR-155, and miR-223 were prioritized across multiple studies for periodontal disease diagnosis
  • These miRNAs are detectable in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid as non-invasive biomarkers
  • Preclinical hydrogels and nanoparticle delivery of anti-miRs and mimics reduced inflammation and repaired bone
