HOST MODULATION
• Host :the organism from which a parasite
obtains its nourishment or in the
transplantation of tissue ,the individual
who receives the graft
• Modulation : the alteration of function or
status of something in response to a stimuli
or an altered chemical or physical
environment
• The concept of host modulation is used for
the management of chronic progressive
disorders such as arthritis and
osteopetrosis
• Introduced in dentistry by William & Golub
et al
• Periodontal disease appear as an opportunistic
infection.
• There is no way to eliminate bacteria from the
oral cavity, so bacteria are always present in the
periodontal milieu
• When more virulent species exist in an
environment that allows for their presence in
greater proportion, there is the opportunity for
periodontal destruction to occur.
• Bacterial pathogens initiate the periodontal
inflammation, the host response to these
pathogens,is equally important in mediating
connective tissue breakdown, including bone
loss.
• Host derived enzymes known as the matrix
metallo-proteinases (mmps), changes in
osteoclast activity driven by cytokines and
prostanoids, cause most of the tissue destruction
in the periodontium.
• This shift in paradigms, with a focus on the
host response, led to the development of
host modulatory therapies to improve :
• therapeutic outcomes,
• Slow the progression of disease,
• Allow for more predictable management of
patients

ROLE OF THE HOST
RESPONSE IN PERIODONTAL
PATHOGENESIS
After the accumulation of subgingival plaque bacteria,
a variety of microbial substances,
(including chemotactic factors such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), microbial
peptides, and other bacterial antigens,)
diffuse across the junctional epithelium into the gingival connective tissues.
Epithelial and connective tissue cells stimulated
to produce inflammatory mediators
that result in an inflammatory response in the tissues.
The gingival vasculature dilates (vasodilation)
increasingly permeable to fluid and cells.
Fluid accumulates in the tissues,
Defense cells migrate from the circulation toward the chemotactic stimulus in the gingival crevice
Neutrophils, or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNS), predominate in the early stages
These cells phagocytose and kill plaque bacteria.
Bacterial killing by PMNS involves both intra-cellular mechanisms
(after phagocytosis of bacteria within membrane-bound structures inside the cell)
extracellular mechanisms (by release of PMN enzymes and oxygen radicals outside the cell).
As bacterial products enter the circulation,
Committed lymphocytes return to the site of infection,
lymphocytes are transformed to plasma cells produce antibodies against specific bacterial antigens.
Antibodies are released in the gingival tissues
In the presence of complement,
enhance PMN phagocytosis and bacterial killing.
v
• Thus a host immune inflammatory
response is established in the gingival
tissues
• The clinical signs of gingivitis develop.
• This response is essentially protective
to combat the bacterial infection and
prevent ingress of bacteria into the tissues.
• (Disease resistant), these primary defense
mechanisms control the infection, and
chronic inflammation (i.e., Chronic
gingivitis) may persist
In disease-susceptible individuals,
Inflammatory events extend apically and laterally
Involve deeper connective tissues and alveolar bone.
Proliferation of the junctional epithelium, which becomes
increasingly permeable and ulcerated,
Thus accelerating the ingress of bacterial products,
inflammation worsens.
Defense cells are recruited to the area, including
macrophages and lymphocytes
Large numbers of PMNs migrate into the tissues,
secreting destructive enzymes and inflammatory mediators.
MMPs, such as collagenases,
which break down collagen fibers in the gingival and
periodontal tissues.
The infiltrating inflammatory and immune cells are
accommodated by the breakdown of structural
components of the periodontium.
Pharmacologic agents or chemotherapeutics can be
administered to suppress excessive levels of MMPs.
MMPs are a primary target for host modulation.
Macrophages are recruited to the area
activated (by binding to LPS)
to produce prostaglandins (e.g., prostaglandin E2, PGE2), interleukins
(e.g., IL-α, IL-lβ, IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and MMPs.
The cytokines (interleukins and TNF-α) and prostanoids are additional
targets for host modulatory therapeutics.
Interleukins and TNF-a bind to fibroblasts,
which are stimulated to produce additional quantities of PGE2,
interleukins, TNF-a, and MMPs in positive-feedback cycles.
The concentration of these enzymes and inflammatory mediators becomes
pathologically high in the periodontal tissues.
Host modulatory therapy can be used to reduce the excessive levels of
cytokines, prostanoids, and enzymes.
MMPs break down collagen fibers
disrupting the normal anatomy of the gingival tissues
and resulting in destruction of the periodontal ligament.
The inflammation extends apically,
and osteoclasts are stimulated
to resorb alveolar bone by the high levels of prostaglandins,
interleukins, and TNF-a in the tissues.
The osteoclasts themselves are targets for host modulation.
Drugs can be administered to downregulate osteoclastic
activity and ultimately to inhibit bone resorption by these cells.
• The elevations in the proinflammatory or
destructive mediators in response bacterial
challenge are counterbalanced
• by elevations in antiinflammatory or protective
mediators
• such as
• cytokines IL-4 and IL-10,
• ILl ra (receptor antagonist)
• tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase
(TIMPs)
• Under conditions of health, the antiinflammatory or protective
mediators serve to control tissue destruction.
• If there are adequate levels of these anti-inflammatory or
protective mediators to keep the host response to the bacterial
challenge in check, the individual will be disease resistant.
• If an imbalance occurs, with excessive levels of the
proinflammatory or destructive mediators present in the host
tissues, tissue destruction will ensue in the susceptible host
• Another potential target for .host modulation could entail the
use pharmacologic agents, which either mimic or result in
elevations of endogenous antiinflammatory or protective
mediators.
• The purpose of host modulation therapy is
to restore the balance of proinflammatory
or destructive mediators and
antiinflammatory or protective mediators
to that seen in healthy individuals
HOST MODULATORY THERAPY
• Adjunctive treatment options. The term
adjunctive is meant to imply "in addition to
conventional therapies"
• HOST MODULATORY THERAPY is a
treatment concept that aims to reduce
tissue destruction and stabilize or even
regenerate the production by modifying or
downregulating destructive aspects of the
host response and upregulating protective
or regenerative response
• HMT’s are locally delivered pharmaceuticals
that are prescribed as part of periodontal
therapy and are used as adjuncts to
conventional periodontal treatment such
as scaling and root planing
• HMT means treating host side of host
bacteria interaction
• HMT’s do not switch off normal defense
mechanism or inflammation instead they
ameliorate excessive or pathologically
elevated inflammatory process to enhance
the opportunities for wound healing and
periodontal stability
Systemically administrated
agents
Locally adminstrated agents
NSAIDS NSAIDS
Bisphosphanates Enamel matrix protein
Sub antimicrobial dose Doxycycline Growth factors
Bone morphogenic protein
NSAIDS
• Inhibit formation of prostaglandin
including PGE2
• PGE2

the rate of bone loss seen before NSAIDS
therapy
“Rebound effect”
Selective COX 2 inhibitor
• COX-1 and COX-2.
• COX-1 has antithrombogenic and cytoprotective
functions. Therefore, inhibition of COX-1 by
nonselective NSAIDs causes side effects such as
gastrointestinal ulceration and impaired homeostasis.
• COX-2 is induced after stimulation by various cytokines,
growth factors, and LPS,
• Results elevated quantities of prostaglandins.
• Inhibition of COX-2 by selective COX-2 inhibitors
results in reduction of inflammation
• Life-threatening adverse effects
• Not indicated as adjunctive HMTS in the treatment of
periodontal disease
Bisphosphonates
• The bisphosphonates are bone-seeking
agents that inhibit bone resorption by
disrupting osteoclast activity
• The ability of bisphosphonates to modulate
osteoclast activity clearly may be useful in
the treatment of periodontitis.
• Unwanted effects Include inhibiting
bone calcification and inducing changes in
white blood cell counts
Subantimicrobial-Dose
Doxycycline
• Subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline(SDD) is a
20-mg dose of doxycycline (Periostat that is
approved and indicated as an adjunct to SRP in
the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
• Daily for 3 months, up to a maximum of 9
months of continuous dosing. The 20-mg dose
exerts its therapeutic effect by enzyme,
cytokine, and osteoclast inhibition
Locally Administered Agents
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
• Topical NSAIDs have shown benefit in the
treatment of periodontitis
• Topical ketorolac mouth rinse
• Gingival crevicular fluid levels of PGE2 were
reduced
Enamel Matrix Proteins, Growth
Factors, and Bone Morphogenetic
Proteins
• Improve wound healing ,stimulate
regeneration of lost bone, periodontal
ligament, and cementum, restoring the
complete periodontal attachment
apparatus.
• The only local host modulation agent
currently approved by the PDA for
adjunctive use during surgery is Emdogain
SUBANTIMICROBIAL-DOSE
DOXYCYCLINE
• SDD is the only PDA-approved, systemically
administered HMT
• Indicated specifically in the treatment of Periodontitis.
• SDD is used as an adjunct to SRP
• Must not be used as a stand alone therapy
(monotherapy).
• Marketed as periostat, is based on subantimicrobial
dosage of doxycycline, a member of the tetracycline
family
• Therapy versus mechanical therapy alone resulted in
significantly greater mean probing depth reductions in
pockets
Mechanism of action
• Downregulate MMP ,a family of zinc
dependent enzyme capable of degrading
extracellular matrix molecules including
collagen.
• Secreted by fibroblast
keratinocytes,macrophages.
• Play a key role in periodontitis
• MMP 8 ,9 derived from PMNS are extremely
effective in degrading type 1 collagen
• Rationale for using SDD as an HMT is that
it regulates the activity of MMPS by a
variety of synergistic mechanism including
reduction in cytokine level ,stimulates
Osteoblastic activity and new bone
formation
Candidate Patients
• Consider the patient's, motivation toward
periodontal care, the medical history, and the
patient's willingness to take a systemic drug
treatment.
• The rationale for using SDD must be clearly
explained to the patient
• Patients who show little enthusiasm for
complying with the treatment plan or with oral
hygiene practices are less likely to be good
candidates for systemic drug therapy.
Treatable Periodontal Conditions
Chronic periodontitis,
Aggressive forms of periodontitis who are
being treated nonsurgically
Adjunct to periodontal surgery.
Refractory to treatment,
 patients with risk factors such as smoking
or diabetes
CONTRAINDICATED
• History of allergy or hypersensitivity to tetracyclines.
• Pregnant or lactating women
• children less than 12 years old (because of the potential
for discoloration of the developing dentition)
• Reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives,
• Should not used
gingivitis
periodontal abscess
when an antibiotic is indicated
• Side Effects
• antibiotic doses (>100 mg) is associated
with a photosensitivity,
• hyper-sensitivity reactions,
• nausea, vomiting.
Sequencing Prescription with
Periodontal Treatment
SDD is indicated as an adjunct to mechanical
periodontal therapy and should not be used as
a stand alone therapy.
• SDD should be prescribed to coincide with the
first episode of SRP and is prescribed for 3
months, up to a maximum of 9 months of
continuous dosing
• After initial periodontal treatment, the patient
is enrolled into an intensive periodontal
maintenance program
• For patients demonstrating a good
treatment response with significant
reduction in probing depth further SDD
may not necessary
• If progressive pocket SDD extended for 3
month
EMERGING HOST
MODULATORY THERAPIES
Chemically modified tetracylines (cmts)
• Nonantibiotic tetracycline
• Inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption and
promote bone formation,enhance wound
healing, and inhibit proteinases produced by
periodontal pathogens.
Anticytokine drugs
• Targeted against cytokines such as TNF α
• Increase the levels of antiinflammatory or
protective mediators
• Eg:infliximab,etanercept
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
• The use of HMTs such as SDD offers the
opportunity to improve the treatment
outcomes that can be anticipated following
SRP alone.
• Subantimicrobial-dose doxycyline (SDD) is
the only HMT currently approved and
indicated as an adjunct to SRP for treating
periodontitis
