Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine whether the toll-like receptor (TLR) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) polymorphisms confers susceptibility to periodontitis in ethnically different populations. A literature search using PubMed and Embase provided the data to conduct a meta-analysis on the associations between the TLR2 Arg753Gln, TLR4 Asp299Gly, Thr399Ile, MMP-1 -1607 G1/G2 and MMP-9 -1562 C/T...
