The aim of our study was to assess changes in the levels of IL-8 and MMP-9 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) collected from the periodontal pocket before and after regenerative surgery with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and collagen membrane (GTR) either independently (DBBM/GTR) or with the postoperative administration of antibiotic (DBBM/GTR+AB). The study involved 41 patients, each with one intrabony defect. IL-8 and MMP-9 were determined before therapy and after 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 months following the surgical procedure by means of dedicated ELISA kits. No statistical differences were observed in the levels of IL-8 and MMP-9 after 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 months between the groups. The changes in the level of MMP-9 over time were not statistically significant in any group. The changes in the level of IL-8 were significant for the group given antibiotic but not in the nonantibiotic group in the follow-up period. IL-8 and MMP-9 were found to correlate positively but not after 4 weeks in the test group. Current assessment of IL-8 and MMP-9 obtained from GCF samples provides evidence that collagen matrix turnover occurs actively during the early healing phase in the periodontium after regenerative procedures. We observed positive correlations of MMP-9 and IL-8 throughout the study. However, we failed to reveal any differences regard parameters studied between the two groups.
