It is clinically relevant, as it is directly related to the overall bond strength that maintains these restorations in place and prevents marginal deterioration.

Inhibition of the effects of MMPs has been studied, and the use of a pre-treatment protocol that includes MMP inhibiting agents before bonding procedures has been explored, and has been found to increase bond strengths. However, the effect that MMP inhibitors have on dental adhesives has not yet been explored, particularly when being used in caries-affected-dentin (CAD).
