Scgb1a1, Lpo and Gbp2 is Characteristically Expressed in Rat Peri-Implant Epithelium.

The peri-implant epithelium plays an important role in the prevention against initial stage of inflammation. In order to minimize the risk of peri-implantitis, it is necessary to understand the biological characteristics of the peri-implant epithelium. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristic gene expression profile of peri-implant epithelium as compared to junctional epithelium using laser microdissection and microarray analysis.
