{Abstract}: BACKGROUND: 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 response is influenced by genetic factors. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that contribute to degradation and removal of collagen from extracellular matrix.
OBJECTIVE: This case-control study aimed to investigate the haplotypic combination of MMP polymorphism (rs1144393, rs1799750, rs3025058, and rs11225395) and implant loss.
METHODS: Two hundred nonsmokers subjects were matched by gender, age, implant number and position and divided in control group, 100 patients with one or more healthy implants, and test group, and 100 patients with one or more implant failures. Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva and genotypes were obtained by PCR-RFLP.
RESULTS: A significant association of rs1799750 (MMP-1) and rs11225395 (MMP-8) polymorphism on early implant loss was demonstrated (P ≤ 0.001). Global haplotype analysis indicated a significant difference between both groups (P < 0.0001). Haplotype T-A-GG-5A-C had a statistically significant risk effect, while haplotype C-A-G-6A-C andT-G-2G-5A-C had a protective effect in implant loss.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that MMPs haplotype are a risk factor to early implant loss.
