Enamel matrix derivative: efficacy, indications and common drawbacks
Local application of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) for the
resolution of intraosseous periodontal defects represents
today a sound clinical reality. However, due to its gel consistency,
EMD shows a limited space-making capacity, which
may affect its regenerative potential in case of not-self-supportive
intraosseous lesions. In order to overcome this drawback, the combination of EMD with graft materials to stabilize
the clot and provide soft tissue support has been proposed.
Among the available graft materials, autogenous
bone graft (ABG) shows several ideal characteristics, since it
is a low cost material, resorbable, easy to handle and potentially
osteoinductive. The aim of the present review was to
summarize the current knowledge regarding the use of EMD
in adjunct to ABG in the treatment of intraosseous periodontal
pockets. This combined approach has been recently
investigated and encouraging clinical results in terms of a
significant improvement of periodontal hard and soft tissue
healing have been reported. However, very few controlled
data are available to date, and preliminary results show only
a limited, although significant, benefit compared to the use
of EMD alone. Only further well designed randomized
controlled trials, as well as human histologic studies, will be
able to clarify whether and to what extent an EMD-ABG
combined approach might affect the healing dynamics of
deep periodontal defects and its real regenerative potential
with respect to the mere EMD application
