title: Analyses of periodontal glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. Regulation by microbial, chemical and inflammatory factors.
abstract: During the last two decades one of the main lines of research in the Department of Periodontology in Turku has related to connective tissue glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. A general outline of current knowledge about proteoglycans is presented, with a review of most published and unpublished results on periodontal glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans obtained in our Department.
