BACKGROUND Enamel matrix-derived proteins (Emdogain) stimulate the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells, contributing to their regeneration. AIM This study was to perform histometric assessment of root surface resorption in replanted teeth with the use of Emdogain®. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), weighing 180 to 200 gm, were anesthetized, subjected to ext...

Amelogenin, the major protein component of tooth enamel, is shown to be a cell adhesion protein. Since it had been shown that an amelogenin-containing preparation, Emdogain, possessed cell-adhesive activity, we tested the hypothesis that amelogenin was responsible for cell-adhesive activity. Recombinant amelogenin was found to promote adhesion at less than 15 micro g/60-mm plate and requires di...

El EMD es una Proteína secretada por la vaina radicular epitelial de Hertwig durante el desarrollo dental. Es un regulador mineralización del esmalte, estimula regeneración y promueve formación dentina reparadora. Objetivo: La finalidad revisión fue evaluar respuesta histológica tejido pulpar a en terapia vital dentición decidua. según literatura. Método: Se realizó búsqueda literatura pertinen...

BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a chronic infective disease of the gums caused by bacteria present in dental plaque. This condition induces the breakdown of the tooth supporting apparatus until teeth are lost. Surgery may be indicated to arrest disease progression and regenerate lost tissues. Several surgical techniques have been developed to regenerate periodontal tissues including guided tissue r...

and Emdogain® to Plastic by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA) To assess whether recombinant amelogenin and Emdogain® used in the cell attachment experiments indeed coupled to plate surfaces, we coated a two-fold serial concentration range (1.5 g–1.5 and 0 ng/well) of each protein in duplicate on Dyclone 2HB 96-microwell plates overnight at 4°C in MAM, imitating the conditions used in t...

Root denudation following gingival recessions promotes carious or non-carious cervical lesions with hypersensitivity and esthetic discomfort. To satisfy the immediate demand of the patients, general practitioners used to perform restorative procedures including cervical fillings or bonding techniques (resin-modified restorative glass ionomer, microfin resin composite) to cover the lesion. This ...

Twenty-seven patients were randomized into two treatment groups following single tooth extraction in the incisor, canine and premolar area. In the test group, the alveolar socket was grafted with Straumann Bone Ceramic (SBC), while in the control group, Bio-Oss deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) was applied. In both groups, a collagen barrier was used to cover the grafting material. Compl...
