Apical periodontitis (AP) represents chronic inflammatory reaction of periradicular tissues of
teeth with necrotic pulp. Although AP has been considered as a multifactorial disease …

Periradicular tissues have a rich supply of peripheral afferent neurons, also known as
nociceptive neurons, originating from the trigeminal nerve. While their primary function is to …

Aim To evaluate the association between the presence of selected bacterial species/groups
in the apical root canal and expression of mediators of soft and bone tissue destruction in …

To determine Toll-like receptors (TLR) 2 and TLR4 expression levels and associate them
with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in asymptomatic apical periodontitis (AAP) …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9
(MMP-9) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1) in periapical lesion samples …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the inflammatory infiltrate, osteoclast
formation, and expression of MMP-9 during the healing phase following root canal treatment …

Abstract Introduction Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix
metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are considered important mediators of the periapical immune …

Objectives The objectives of this study were to explore the role and related mechanism of
berberine in repairing bone destruction in apical periodontics (AP). Materials and Methods …

Abstract Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) catalyzes the degradation of the
extracellular matrix components and have a major role in many physiological processes …

Cystic lesions are considered to be one of the most common pathologies of the maxillofacial
region, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may represent potential etiological factors …
