Tetracyclines inhibit connective tissue breakdown: new therapeutic implications for an old family of drugs.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that this property of tetracycline may be therapeutically useful in retarding pathologic connective tissue breakdown, including bone resorption, and in the treatment of periodontal and several medical diseases.
