Immune-mediated oral disorders are characterised by their chronicity, and some are refractory to treatment. Interference RNA (iRNA) has been implicated in the underlying mechanism of such immune-mediate oral and refractory inflammatory oral diseases. iRNA-based understanding of the mechanism in these diseases may help to produce non-invasive diagnostic methodologies and treatment modalities of ...
