Abstract

|
|
Periodontal regeneration is the type of wound healing occurring after periodontal therapy, which constructs new connective tissue attachment and new alveolar bone. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is obtained from developing porcine embryonal enamel and is composed of hydrophobic enamel matrix protein. Enamel matrix has an ability to induce acellular cemental regeneration in periodontal defects. Among various indications for EMD application reported in literature, EMD has been used as one of regenerative treatment options for intrabony defects which showed reduction of probing pocket depth (PPD) and gain of clinical attachment level (CAL). Moreover, EMD was reported to have no complications in clinical trials. This case report is to explore the short-term outcomes of EMD applied in three-wall vertical bone defects and to discuss the efficacy of EMD in the treatment of intrabony defects.
