pubmed:abstractText |
It has been reported that noncollagenous proteins may provide mechanical strength to the periodontal ligament. Several proteolytic activities, including that of neutrophil elastase, are reported to increase significantly in periodontal disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of neutrophil elastase in the initial destruction of periodontal ligament at early stages of periodontal disease.
