In the serum-free culture medium of bovine odontoblasts we detected active gelatinolytic
metalloproteinases, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 (gelatinases A and B) …

While it is known that matrixmetalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is present in dentin, its distribution
and role in human dentin formation and pathology are not well understood. Objective To …

The presence of matrix metalloproteinase2 (MMP2) in dentin has been reported, but its
distribution and activity level in mature human coronal dentin are not well understood. The …

Recent findings show that matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) is expressed, in addition to
neutrophils, by human chondrocytes, cultured fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. We …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been detected in forming dental enamel and are
thought to play an important role during enamel biomineralization. Membrane-type 1 matrix …

Introduction: Tooth development results from a highly coordinated epithelial-mesenchyme
interaction in which mesenchyme cells originate the dental papilla and dental follicle, while …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are present in sound coronal dentin and may play a role
in collagen network degradation in bonded restorations. We investigated whether these …

Abstract Objectives Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are dentinal endogenous enzymes
claimed to have a vital role in dentin organic matrix breakdown. The aim of the study was to …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been expressed during root development and
periodontal tissue formation, whereas it is not known if these MMP molecules are …

Previous studies have demonstrated that (at least) matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2,8,9,
14 and20 are expressed by human odontoblasts. Here, we analysed the expression of 19 …
