Video abstract of original research paper "RANTES and fibroblast growth factor 2 in jawbone cavitations: triggers for systemic disease?" published in the open access International Journal of General Medicine by Johann Lechner and Volker von Baehr.

This study suggests that JC might serve as a fundamental cause of IDs, through RANTES/FGF-2 production. Thus, JC and implicated immune messengers represent an integrative aspect of IDs and serve as a possible cause.

Removing JCs may be a key to reversing IDs. There is a need to raise awareness about JC throughout medicine and dentistry.
