Levels of gingival crevicular fluid matrix metalloproteinases in periodontally compromised teeth under orthodontic forces

摘要

Objective: To examine levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -12, and -13 in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontally compromised teeth at different time points during orthodontic movement.
