Biothérapie et odontologie

Biotherapies is the use of a molecule, cells, even tissue for therapeutic means. Currently, one of the other major bio-therapeutic tools are monoclonal antibodies and their by-products. They came into being notably thanks to remarkable molecular engineering, a cornerstone for therapeutic tools in a wide range of clinical domains such as oncology, hematology and gastroenterology. As with the anti-TNFα and the anti-IL-1 biotherapies are specific immunotherapies which have the particularly interesting applications for inflammatory rheumatism and auto-immune diseases. Their production and use on a large scale have been made possible thanks to enormous progress in the biotechnology industry. However, carrying out surgery during anti-TNFα treatment can, theoretically, result in a higher risk of infections in pre or post-surgery.
