Description Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) as a proteolytic enzyme plays an important role in tissue remodeling and repair. Interleukin 18 (IL-18) as a member of IL-1 proinflammatory family participates in regulation of expression of MMP-9. The aim of our study was to determine differences between Czech children with and without gingivitis in relation to the distribution of MMP-9 and IL-18 variants.
