Abstract
Serum Amyloid A (SAA) is an Acute-Phase Protein (APP) produced as an innate nonspecific response to any tissue damage. Hence, it plays a significant role in chronic inflammatory diseases. In particular, SAA levels increase dramatically in chronic periodontitis and chronic apical periodontitis. Recent studies suggest this role of SAA in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including chronic periodontitis and chronic apical periodontitis. Thus, the focus of this review is to sum up the current understanding of the role of SAA in health and disease and to elaborate on possible mechanisms by which SAA could play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis and chronic apical periodontitis.
