Exploring Gene Polymorphisms and Peri-Implantitis Risk: Insights from an Iranian Study

Posted: December 2, 2024
This groundbreaking case-control study in an Iranian population explored the association between gene polymorphisms of specific matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and peri-implantitis (PI). The research identified significant differences in MMP-3 and MMP-7 gene polymorphisms between PI patients and healthy controls. Notably, the presence of the 6A allele in MMP-3 genotype reduced the risk of PI. These findings underscore the potential influence of genetic factors on PI susceptibility, highlighting the importance of personalized approaches in managing implant complications.
