Abstract

Through the alteration of host response variables, inflammatory tissue can be stabilised or even grown again through the use of a therapeutic approach known as host modulation therapy (HMT). Host modulation agents that are administered locally or systemically as part of periodontal therapy. They are used as supplements to more traditional periodontal therapies including surgery and scaling and root planing. This article aims to provide an overview of the existing literature on HMT and its application as a complementary therapy in periodontics.
