Historiography of Immunology in Oral Pathology-A Concise Review
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The historiography of immunology has become a bustling, pluripotent discipline, and continues to develop in many new and exciting directions that include immunohistochemistry and immunopathology in the field of Oral pathology. Immunology, the science that studies the structure and functioning of the immune system, began long before anyone knew about disease causing microbes or even that individuals had an immune system that protected the body against disease. In the field of Oral pathology, one encounters various immunological diseases in routine day-to-day practice, hence having the complete knowledge on this aspect which many a times is overlooked, is of utmost importance for proper investigations and latest research in this field that in turn comes from the past historical knowledge. The terminology and techniques today have the foundation in the past. The historical considerations of past events give perspective to the present programmes and direction for future development. Hence, the present review is a good starting point for compiling the historiography of immunology in the field of Oral pathology and includes a short compilation of the past historical background about basic immunology, hypersensitivity and autoimmunity. In addition, future consideration of this discipline in Oral pathology should be emphasized and targeted.
