The Effects of Adjunctive Doxycycline in Initial Periodontal Therapy to The Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1

the effect of adjunctive low-dose doxycycline and licorice therapy on gingival crevicular fluid matrix metalloproteinase-8 levels in chronic periodontitis

background: this study compared the effect of adjunctive low dose doxycycline and licorice on gingival crevicular fluid (gcf) matrix metalloproteinase-8 (mmp-8) levels in patients with chronic periodontitis. materials and methods: in this in vivo , experimental study 39 patients with mild to moderate chronic periodontitis were selected. samples of gcf were collected from three deepest pockets a...

BACKGROUND This study compared the effect of adjunctive low dose doxycycline and licorice on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) levels in patients with chronic periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vivo, experimental study 39 patients with mild to moderate chronic periodontitis were selected. Samples of GCF were collected from three deepest pockets an...

comparison of matrix metalloproteinase-3 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 levels in gingival crevicular fluid in periodontal health, disease and after treatment: a clinico biochemical study

background: considering the role of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (mmp-3) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (timp-1) in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, the present study is to estimate the levels of mmp-3 and timp-1 in gingival crevicular fluid (gcf) in periodontal health, disease and to evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy on mmp-3 and timp-1 concentrations in gcf. mater...

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 levels in gingival crevicular fluid in patients after periodontal microsurgery for orthodontic induced gingival hypertrophy.

INTRODUCTION In this study, we aim to compare the levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), as indicators for healing, in two groups of patients - operated with a classic periodontal surgical technique and the same technique but using a dental microscope. MATERIALS We included 14 patients with ages between 12 and 26 years, average 14±6.2 years. Eight ...
