Combined effect of photobiomodulation with a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor on the rate of relapse in rats.

CONCLUSIONS: The combined effect of photobiomodulation with an MMP inhibitor around the relapsing teeth proved to be antagonistic to PDL remodeling activity during relapse. This study suggests a basis for developing a novel biologic procedure targeting the MMP-dependent PDL remodeling to control the relapse rate. PMID: 26154938 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
