EMD for Treatment of Proximal Class-II Furcation Involvements

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis

• Registration Number: NCT03320135
• Lead Sponsor: Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical response of proximal furcations treated with enamel matrix derivative proteins (EMD).

Detailed Description

Proximal class-II furcation represents a challeng to periodontal therapy. Studies show that the ultrasonic non-surgical therapy doesn't work in these defects and the guided tissue regeneration therapy with membranes also demonstrates an unpredictable improvement. Therefore, enamel matrix derivative proteins (EMD) have been proposed as a periodontal regenerative procedure due to their fundamental role in cementum development.
