Cyclosporin A (CyA) is a cyclic peptide used as an immunosuppressive agent because it can block the synthesis of interleukin-2 and other cytokines produced by CD4+ lymphocytes. It is widely used for the prevention of allograft rejection and treatment of autoimmune diseases. Several side-effects of CyA treatment have been reported, among which are chronic nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity, lymphoproliferative neoplasms, hypertension, thromboembolic complications and gingival overgrowth. Here, using a rat molar model, it is demonstrated that CyA immunosuppression inhibits the activity of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in the early phase of granulation tissue in the healing dental socket. These observations suggest that CyA may interfere with the wound healing following dental extractions
