Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix metalloproteinases: contribution to pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal inflammation.

TL;DR: MMP‐inhibitor (MMPI)‐drugs, such as doxycycline, can be used as adjunctive medication to augment both the scaling and root planing‐treatment of periodontitis locally and to reduce inflammation systematically.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of matrix metalloproteinases in the oral environment.

TL;DR: A review of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their role in physiological and pathological extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and degradation processes in the oral environment is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) in pulpal and periapical inflammation and periapical root-canal exudates.

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the presence of M MP-8 in the inflamed pulp and periapical tissue, indicating that MMP-8 has a role in pulpal and peruapical inflammation, most likely participating in tissue extracellular matrix degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix Metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13, Collagenase-3) is Highly Expressed in Human Tooth Pulp

TL;DR: The results reveal that MMP-13 is expressed and synthesized in pulp tissue, an interesting feature considering the very limited expression of M MP-13 in normal adult tissues.
