Effect of calcium fluoride on the activity of dentin matrix-bound enzymes

Objective: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cysteine cathepsins (CCs) are two distinct enzymatic pathways responsible for the degradation of collagen fibrils in demineralized dentin. NaF and KF have been shown to inhibit salivary MMP-2, -9 and CCs. This study investigated the inhibitory effect o...
