Periodontal Disease – K.
Folkers, T. Watanabe, 1977,
Journal of Medicine, Vol.8;
.concluded that gingival and
leucocytic deficiencies of CoQ10
treated by CoQ10 therapy can be
adjunctive with periodontal
therapy resulting in extraordinary
healing and enhancing treatment of
periodontal disease. The
indispensability of the intrinsic
CoQ10 in bioenergenics was
emphasized as the basis of the
extraordinary healing and benefit
resulting from the administration
of CoQ10 to periodontal patients.
