What is High MMP Activity in Periapical Granulomas about?

This study investigates the differential expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules in periapical granulomas and cysts, highlighting that high matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity is a distinguishing feature of granulomas. The research reveals that granulomas exhibit higher MMP enzymatic activity and a greater presence of polymorphonuclear cells compared to cysts, which could aid in the differential diagnosis before root canal treatment. The findings suggest that specific ECM molecules and MMPs m
