ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The study of MMPs' behavior in carious lesions contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms involved in dentin reorganization after restoration.AIM:
To compare the abundance and localization of MMPs 2, 8, and 9 in infected dentin before and after restoration.DESIGN:
The sample consisted of 23 young permanent molars with active deep carious lesions. Infected carious dentin samples were collected from the same tooth at baseline and 60 days after cavity lining with GIC and composite resin restoration and processed for immunohistochemistry assays. After digital images were obtained, two calibrated operators analyzed the samples according to the immunostaining intensity and the MMPs' localization. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.RESULTS:
The intensity of immunostaining for MMP-8 was reduced after 60 days (P = 0.02), and no difference was observed for MMP-2 (P = 0.32) and MMP-9 (P = 0.14). The MMPs' distribution was generalized in the intertubular dentin and absent or located in the intratubular dentin, regardless of the period.CONCLUSION:
The sealing of infected carious dentin in young permanent molars reduced the expression of MMP-8, which is consistent with the initial remodeling process of the dentin matrix.
