Abstract
Of particular interest to the readers of this journal, “Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation”, recent studies (and experience) in the field of “Oral and Dental Rehabilitation”, indicate that Host-Modulation Therapy (HMT), originally developed as adjunctive treatment for the management of microbial-induced inflammatory periodontal disease (periodontitis) around natural teeth, is also likely applicable to promote the health of soft tissues, and jaw bone (mandible/maxilla) supporting dental implants
