Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Periodontal Disease: A Critical Appraisal of Destructive Mechanisms, Measurement Constraints and Prospects for Clinical Management

G. Prakash Pai, M. M. Dayakar, L. S. Shilpa, B. Swasthik Kalluraya, G. Jaswanth Sanam & Surabhi S. Gowda · International Journal of Research and Reports in Dentistry · 2026

Periodontitis is a chronic, microbially associated inflammatory disease in which host-derived mediators, rather than bacteria alone, drive the destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Neutrophil extracellular traps, chromatin scaffolds decorated with granule proteins that are exp...
