Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase-1 has been implicated in periodontal disease, but the association between the most-studied Matrix metalloproteinase-1 1G-to-2G polymorphism and the risk of periodontal disease were reported with inconclusive results. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between the Matrix metalloproteinase-1 1G-to-2G polymorphism and periodontal disease. Electronic databases...
