  • Title: [New findings on pathogenic mechanisms of collagen fiber damage during development of periodontal diseases].
    Author: Bokor M.
    Journal: Med Pregl; 1997; 50(5-6):201-5. PubMed ID: 9297051.
    Abstract:
    This paper reviews new knowledge on collagen destruction of the periodontium during development of periodontal diseases. Numerous clinical and experimental studies reveal important data in regard to recognition of these pathogenetic mechanisms. Two of them are described: intracellular-not depending on collagenase and extracellular-depending on collagenase. Which of these mechanisms is more important or what their concrete relationship is like, is still unknown.
