Summary
Aims: The aims of this study were to investigate (1) the matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) promoter polymorphisms in severe chronic periodontitis (CP), (2) the relationship of periodontal therapy outcome with these genotypes, and (3) the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) MMP-1 levels-MMP-1 genotype correlation.
