Five-year results following treatment of intrabony defects with enamel matrix proteins and guided tissue regeneration
2004
Treatment with enamel matrix proteins (EMD) or guided tissue regeneration (GTR) has been shown to enhance periodontal regeneration. However, until now there are limited data on the long-term results following these treatment modalities.The aim of the present clinical study was to present the 5-year results following treatment of intrabony defects with EMD, GTR, combination of EMD and GTR, and open flap debridement (OFD).Forty-two patients, each of whom displayed one intrabony defect of a probing depth of at least 6 mm, were randomly treated with one of the four treatment modalities. The following parameters were evaluated prior to surgery, at 1 year and at 5 years after: plaque index, gingi…
In vivo comparative study of the effects of using the enamel matrix derivative and/or photobiomodulation on the repair of bone defects

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01 Background: The repair of bone defects has been the subject of many studies that have shown inconclusive results as to what is the best bone substitute. Material and Methods: Bone defects (0 2 mm) were induced on the tibia of seventy-two rats, which were distributed into the following four groups/treatments (n=18 each): Control: no treatment; EMD: enamel matrix derived protein; PBM: photobiomodulation therapy (660 nm, 0,035 W, 60 s); EMD + PBM: EMD and immediate treatment with PBM (660 nm, 0,035 W, 60 s). Six animals from each group were euthanized after 10, 30 and 60 days. Histologi…
