Influence of MMP-8 promoter polymorphism in early osseointegrated implant failure.
2013
Objective
Dental implants consist in the treatment of choice to replace tooth loss. The knowledge that implant loss tends to cluster in subsets of individuals may indicate that host immuneinflammatory response is influenced by genetic factors. In fact, genetic polymorphisms influence the osseointegration process. The objective of this study was investigate the possible relationship between C-799T polymorphism in matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) gene and early implant failure in nonsmoker patients.
