The concentrations of MMP-8 and MMP-9 were measured in the crevicular and the peri-implant sulcular fluids at the different stages of the prosthetic treatment. The concentration MMP-8 and MMP-9 in the peri-implant sulcular fluids were significantly higher (p<0.05) then in the gingival crevicular fluid. The determined parameters are the references values for dynamic observation over the functional state of the dental "implant-bone-soft" tissue system. The detected the correlations attest to synergy between secretion of MMP-8 and MMP-9 in the peri-implant sulcular fluid and allow analysis of the dependence of the secretion of these metalloproteinases on clinical and physiological peculiarities of the gingiva, which will help to better customize implant-supported prosthetic treatment of the patients.
