The purpose of this study was to analyze the therapeutic potential of a mucoadhesive oral patch containing EGCG (MOP-EGCG) in a model of periodontitis and investigate its effects on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa Β ligand (RANKL) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK). Here, TNFRSF11B is linked to periodontitis.
