Reviewer 2 Report
-
In this mini review the authors aimed to summarize the literature information about the functions of MMPs, as paying more attention on MMP-8. But almost all results show data from MMP8. Therefore, the title and aim should be written according to this statement.
-
Some conclusions are not related to the text. For instance, “Taking decision for the diagnosis of peri-implant diseases with the conventional methods can be inaccurate and sometimes harmful.” This was not an aim´s paper.
