Bartold, P. Mark.
Biology of the periodontal connective tissues / Periodontal connective tissues P. Mark Bartold , A. Sampath Narayanan. - xiii, 278 pages : ill (some color) ; 25 cm.
Author Biography P. Mark Bartold is Professor of Periodontology and Director of Research in the Department of Dentistry at the University of Queensland A. Sampath Narayanan is Research Professor in the Department of Pathology and affiliate of the Research Center in Oral Biology at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle
Includes bibliographical references and index.
A reference combining fundamentals of molecular and cellular biology with basic information about the composition of extracellular matrices. This body of information is then applied to normal and diseased connective tissues of the periodontium and to clinical problems. Subjects include inflammation and wound healing, structure and regulation of collagens, developmental aspects of the periodontium, and connective tissue elements as diagnostic markers for gingival crevicular fluid. Includes color and black and white photos, and two- color diagrams. For residents, graduate students, and researchers. Table of Contents Foreword p. vii Acknowledgments p. ix Introduction p. xi Part I Fundamental Principles of Connective Tissue Biology 1 Gene Expression and Regulation of Protein Synthesis p. 3 2 Mammalian Cell Cycle and Growth Regulation p. 27 3 Inflammation and Wound Healing p. 47 Part II Composition of the Extracellular Matrix 4 Structure, Biosynthesis, and Regulation of Collagens p. 73 5 Noncollagenous Proteins and Receptors for Matrix Proteins p. 93 6 Proteoglycans p. 121 Part III Periodontal Connective Tissues 7 Developmental Aspects of the Periodontium p. 151 8 Biochemistry of Normal Periodontal Connective Tissues p. 173 9 Diseased Periodontium p. 197 Part IV Clinical Aspects 10 Gingival Crevicular Fluid: Connective Tissue Elements as Diagnostic Markers p. 223 11 Periodontal Regeneration p. 241 Index
