Matrix Metalloproteinases in Oral Health-Special Attention on MMP-8. [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of Ca2+ and Zn2+ dependent proteolytic enzymes, able to cleave the various components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as a range of other regulatory molecules. Several reports have proven the important role of both MMPs and their endogenous inhibitors, TIPMs, in oral health, the initial ...

Importance of Metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) in the Diagnosis of Periodontitis. [PDF]
Periodontitis is a complex condition. Left untreated, it leads to tooth loss and the need for prosthetic treatment. The incidence of periodontitis is steadily increasing, so new methods are being sought to aid in the diagnosis of the disease. Among the methods postulated is the determination of concentrations of bioactive compounds which include ...

Active MMP-8 as a Biomarker of Peri-implant Health or Disease. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives This study investigated the potential of testing for active matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) by a quantitative point-of-care (PoC), chairside, lateral flow immunotest as a biomarker for the presence or absence of peri-implant diseases. Materials and Methods Eighty healthy patients with implants were recruited.

Association of MMP-8 rs11225395 Polymorphism with the Susceptibility of Peri-Implantitis. [PDF]
Peri-implantitis (PI) is the primary cause of implant failure, and genetic susceptibility significantly influences its development. This study investigated the association between the MMP-8 rs11225395 polymorphism and PI in the Chinese Han population.In this study, 140 Chinese Han patients diagnosed with PI and 156 healthy implant controls were ...
