RESUMEN

Macrophage plays an important role in human innate immune system. It has powerful functions, such as recognition, phagocytosis, and bacteria and foreign body removal. Periodontitis, which is a chronic infectious disease characterized by gum inflammation and bone loss, is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Several studies demonstrated that periodontal tissue destruction is caused by the host immune response defending against infections. As an important part of host immune response, macrophage is also involved in periodontitis pathogenesis. Recently, anti-inflammatory and proresolving activities of macrophage was discovered. Thus, the complex function of macrophage in the occurrence, development, and resolution of inflammation and its potential role in periodontitis were reviewed.
