From the Paper:

"Bacteria are the main cause for a gum disease, and to improve the gum health it is important to remove bacteria. But bacteria are not the straight cause for the gum and dental bone tissue damage and consequent teeth loss. The gum and bone tissue damage are actually caused by the body's own resistance against bacterial infection. But how can this be? The body has a natural infection-fighting mechanism and it sends white blood cells to the infected site."
