Previous issue date: 2006-09-19 / The tissular destruction found in periodontal diseases is caused mainly by components of the host that have its production stimulated by the products of the microorganisms present on the plaque. Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), a class of enzymes involved both in physiologic and pathologic extracellular matrix degradation are considered the main responsible for the characteristic tissular loss in periodontal disease, and the understanding of how this happens can have a series of beneficial implications for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this illness. The aim of this work was to study the immunohistochemical expression of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in fragments of gingival biopsies with clinical diagnose of periodontal disease. MMP-1 has expressed significantly more than the others MMPs in gingivitis both in the epithelium (p=0,0008) and connective tissue (p=0,0049). In periodontitis, both MMP-1 and MMP-9 has expressed significantly more than MMP-2 in the epithelium (p<0,0001) and in the connective tissue (p=0,0002). MMP-1 and MMP-9 presented more expression in periodontitis than in gingivitis but MMP-1 only in the connective tissue (p=0,03) and MMP-9 in the epithelium (p=0,003) and in the connective tissue (p=0,04). In conclusion, these results indicate that the MMP-1 presents high expression in every stages of the periodontal diseases, and increases its expression in the connective tissue when the gingivitis evolves to periodontitis. Therefore, it may have an important role in connective tissue degradation and bone loss observed in disease, since early, in gingivitis, until late stages, in periodontitis, of the periodontal disease. MMP-9 has expressed more in periodontitis than in gingivitis, both in epithelium and in connective tissue. It means that this enzyme may have some importance in the progression of gingivitis to periodontitis by acting in bone resorption observed in this desease / A destrui??o tecidual observada na doen?a periodontal ? causada, principalmente, por componentes do hospedeiro que t?m sua produ??o estimulada pelos produtos liberados pelas bact?rias. As Metaloproteinases da Matriz ou MMPs, enzimas relacionadas ? degrada??o de matriz extracelular em processos tanto fisiol?gicos quanto patol?gicos s?o consideradas as principais respons?veis pela perda tecidual caracter?stica da doen?a periodontal, e o entendimento de como isso ocorre pode ter uma s?rie de implica??es ben?ficas em rela??o ? preven??o, ao diagn?stico e ao tratamento desta doen?a. Neste trabalho foi estudada a express?o imuno-histoqu?mica da MMP-1, da MMP-2 e da MMP-9 em gengivas clinicamente diagnosticadas com doen?a periodontal. A MMP-1 teve express?o significativamente maior que as outras duas nos casos de gengivite tanto no epit?lio (p=0,0008) quanto no tecido conjuntivo (p=0,0049). Na periodontite, a MMP-1 e MMP-9 tiveram express?es significativamente maiores que a MMP-2 tanto no epit?lio (p<0,0001) quanto no conjuntivo (p=0,0002). A MMP-1 e MMP-9 mostraram maior express?o na periodontite que na gengivite sendo a MMP-1 apenas no tecido conjuntivo (p=0,03) e a MMP-9 no epit?lio (p=0,003) e no conjuntivo (p=0,04). Concluiu-se portanto que a MMP-1 apresenta forte express?o em todos os est?gios da doen?a peridontal, aumentando no tecido conjuntivo no caso de progress?o para periodontite, podendo portanto ter um papel crucial na degrada??o de tecido conjuntivo e perda ?ssea observada na doen?a desde os est?gios iniciais de gengivite at? a progress?o para periodontite. A MMP-9, ? expressa mais na periodontite que na gengivite, tanto no epit?lio quanto no conjuntivo significando que esta enzima pode ter import?ncia na progress?o da gengivite para a periodontite atuando na reabsor??o ?ssea observada na doen?a periodontal
