Abstract: Periodontitis is an autoimmune response with a high incidence in oral cavity and closely related to general health. However, there is no uniform standard for the treatment of periodontitis. Cell autophagy is the body's own defense mechanism against foreign diseases. In recent years, the role of autophagy in the host defense of periodontitis is used to provide a new way for the treatment of periodontitis. This article reviews the research status of several autophagy regulators with therapeutic effect on periodontitis.

Key words: periodontitis, autophagy regulators
