Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of periodontal tissues, and its etiology is related to several systemic factors. At present, the destruction of periodontal tissues is considered to be the result of inflammation resolution disorders. Efferocytosis plays an important role in the resolution of inflammation, and defective efferocytosis is an essential factor in the persistence of many chronic inflammatory diseases. Therefore, this review will describe the mechanisms involved in the efferocytosis of macrophages in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and highlight emerging therapeutic strategies to provide new ideas for future periodontal treatment.
