Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are directly responsible for pathogenesis of periodontal diseases and their activity is regulated by Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases (TIMPs). This study was aimed to evaluate changes in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 in periodontal health and disease.
