Description	Members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are implicated in the chronic remodelling in periodontal diseases. Therefore we performed a case-control study to investigate a plausible association between susceptibility to chronic periodontitis (CP) and the polymorphisms in the MMP9 (gelatinase B) gene.
