We studied the kinematic properties of dense gas surrounding massive protostars in a sample of five Massive Dense Cores (MDCs) in Cygnus-X. The aim is to investigate whether turbulent support plays a major role in stabilizing the cores against a rapid fragmentation into Jeans-mass objects. Alternatively the observed kinematics could indicate a high level of dynamics suggesting that the cores are actually not in equilibrium and dynamical processes could be the main driver to build up the final stellar masses.
