Estimation and Correlation of MMP-8 Levels in GCF and Serum with Wound Healing and Clinical Outcomes of Coronally Advanced Flap and Sub-Epithelial Connective Tissue Graft for Root Coverage - A Controlled Clinical Trial.

CONCLUSION: The present prospective study showed satisfactory post-surgical healing and root coverage outcome. MMP-8 levels and its increase/decrease during the early wound healing follows the expected temporal pattern. No significant correlation was noted between MMP-8 levels during early wound healing and root coverage outcomes. PMID: 31522158 [PubMed - in process]
