Scientific Abstract

The study explores the role of IL-23/IL-17 signaling in periodontitis (PD), Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) and Oral Leukoplakia (OL). The aim is to analyze immune cell distribution in gingival and blood and assess the effects of anti-IL-23/anti-IL-17 treatments. Additionally, the study will investigate the molecular mechanisms of epithelial cell hyperactivation to identify potential new therapeutic options for OLP and OL treatment.
