A number of different regenerative techniques, guided tissue regeneration (GTR), bone grafting (BG) and the use of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) have been used to try and regenerate periodontal tissues. The aim of this review was to assess the effectiveness of EMD in the treatment of periodontal pockets of suprabony defects. Searches were conducted in [read the full story…]
A range of regenerative treatments have been used for the treatment of periodontal infrabony defects. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) are two popular treatment and they have both been used in combination with other treatment. This network meta-analysis was conducted to assess the potential effects of the various combinations. Unlike a [read the full story…]
The aim of this review is to give an updated answer to the question whether the additional use of Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in periodontal therapy is more effective in comparison to control or other regenerative procedures. The authors searched MEDLINE (PubMed) for randomized controlled trials where EMD was used for treatment of intrabony defects, [read the full story…]
