Metalloproteases and CCN2/CTGF in dentin –pulp complex repair

Conclusion In this review, we summarize novel roles for metalloproteases, particularly MMP-3 and BMP-1, in dentin–pulp complex repair, with particular emphasis on the effects of CCN2/CTGF expression during regulation of cell migration and tertiary dentinogenesis.
