Abstract:

Continuing advances in dentin bonding technology and adhesives revolutionized bonding of resin-based com-posite restorations. However, hybrid layers created by contemporary dentin adhesives present imperfect durability, and degra-dation of collagen matrix by endogenous enzymes is a significant factor causing destruction of hybrid layers. Bond durability can be improved by using enzyme inhibitors to prevent collagen degradation and to preserve integrity of collagen matrix. This review summarizes progress on matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (including chlorhexidine, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, quaternary ammonium salt, tetracycline and its derivatives, hydroxamic acid inhibitors, bisphosphonate derivative, and cross-linking agents) and suggests prospects for these compounds.

Key words: matrix metalloproteinase, cysteine cathepsins, dentin, enzyme inhibitors, biodegradation, durability
