Periodontitis is a dysbiotic inflammatory disease leading to the destruction of
the tooth-supporting tissues. Current therapies are not always effective and this
prevalent oral disease continues to be a significant health and economic burden.
Early clinical studies have associated periodontitis with elevated complement
activity. Consistently, subsequent genetic and pharmacological studies in rodents
have implicated the central complement component C3 and downstream signaling
pathways in periodontal host-microbe interactions that promote dysbiosis and
inflammatory bone loss. This review discusses these mechanistic advances and
moreover focuses on the compstatin family of C3 inhibitors as a novel approach to
treat periodontitis. In this regard, local application of the current lead analog
Cp40 was recently shown to block both inducible and naturally occurring
periodontitis in non-human primates. These promising results from non-human
primate studies and the parallel development of Cp40 for clinical use highlight
the feasibility for developing an adjunctive, C3-targeted therapy for human
periodontitis.
