Purpose Matrix metalloproteases (MMP s) are tissue‐remodeling enzymes that function
during the remodeling process, such as in immune‐inflammatory diseases. Metalloprotease …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not matrix metalloproteinases
(MMPs) in synovial fluid are helpful in the biochemical diagnosis of temporomandibular joint …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are tissue-enzymes that play a key role during the
remodeling process, such as in inflammatory diseases. MMP-7 and MMP-9 have been …

Background: Internal derangement is one of the most common disorder of the
temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of …

Abstract (J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2018; 44: 120-127) Objectives: The aim of
this study was to reveal how collagenases (matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-1, 8, 13) and …

Objective: To evaluate whether the high expression of metalloproteinases observed in the
temporomandibular joint can be considered as an indicator of degenerative disease …

Recent studies on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders have suggested that matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs) are closely involved in the pathophysiological progression of the …

Internal derangement (ID) is among the most common disorders of the temporomandibular
joint (TMJ). Previous research by our group highlighted a correlation between apoptosis and …

The normal articular disc of the human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) consists of regularly
arranged collagen fibers and fibroblast-like cells. Disc tissue is subjected to various types of …

Objective: MMP-13 performs digestion of collagen, which is a primary component of the
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) articular disc. This study evaluated the expression of MMP …
