Qiao T, Yi Y, Kang Z, Huang Z, Wan J, Wang Y, Qian C. Recombinant human amelogenin promotes wound healing by enhancing angiogenesis. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 734:150462. [PMID: 39083979 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.150462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
The first barrier of the human body is the skin, and more serious harm may occur when skin wound healing is delayed. One of the components of enamel matrix proteins is amelogenin, which inhibits inflammation and promotes periodontal tissue regeneration. However, its role in skin wound healing and angiogenesis is inconclusive. Thus, this study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of recombinant human amelogenin (rhAM) on mouse skin wounds and to determine its effect on angiogenesis and its underlying mechanism. rhAM was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified using the optimized acetic acid method. A skin injury mouse model was established to explore the effects of rhAM on skin wound healing. After treatment with rhAM for 7 days, the wound healing rate was calculated, and the therapeutic effect of rhAM on skin wounds was assessed using hematoxylin & eosin (HE), Masson, and CD31 immunofluorescence staining. The expression of growth and inflammatory factors in wound tissues were detected using Western Blot. In addition, the rhAM effects on the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and mouse fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) were studied in vitro using the Cell Counting Kit-8, cell scratch, cytoskeleton staining, and qPCR. The rhAM effect on HUVEC angiogenesis and its potential mechanism was studied using tube formation and Western Blot. The results showed that the purity of the obtained rhAM was more than 90 % using the optimized acetic acid method, and high-dose rhAM treatment could improve wound healing rate in mice. Additionally, more blood vessels and collagen were produced in the skin wound, and the expression of angiopoietin-related protein 2 (ANGPTL2) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was upregulated; however, that of interleukin-6 was down-regulated. We also found that rhAM promoted the proliferation and migration of HUVEC and NIH 3T3, the mRNA levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor, TGF-β1 and ANGPTL2 in HUVEC cells were upregulated, and expression of VEGF and phosphorylation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase were activated. Therefore, rhAM could promote skin wound healing by upregulating angiogenesis and inhibiting inflammation.

Effect of Root Surface Biomodification on Multiple Recession Coverage with Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel Technique and Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft: A Retrospective Analysis. Gels 2022; 8:gels8010031. [PMID: 35049566 PMCID: PMC8775041 DOI: 10.3390/gels8010031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
To improve treatment efficacy of gingival recessions (GR), chemical preparation of the exposed root surface was advocated. The aim of this study was to compare the additional influence of root biomodifications with 24% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) alone or with enamel matrix derivative (EMD) on the 12 month outcomes of modified coronally advanced tunnel (MCAT) with subepithelial connective tissue graft in the treatment of multiple GR. Average root coverage (ARC), complete root coverage (CRC), reduction in GR, reduction in recession width (RW), gain in clinical attachment level (CAL), increase in gingival thickness (GT), increase in keratinized tissue width (KTW) and changes in root coverage esthetic score (RES) were evaluated. A total of 60 patients with 215 GR were enrolled. In 70, GR root surfaces were treated with EDTA + EMD, in other 72, with EDTA, while in the remaining 73 saline solution was applied. ARC was 94%, 89%, and 91% in the EDTA + EMD, the EDTA and the saline groups, respectively (p = 0.8871). Gains in clinical attachment level (CAL; 2.1 ± 1.1 mm) and RES values (9.6 ± 0.9) were significantly higher in the EDTA + EMD group, when compared with two other groups. The differences between other preoperative and postoperative parameters showed statistical significance only within but not between groups. MCAT outcomes may benefit from adjunctive use of EDTA + EMD regarding 12 month CAL gain and professionally assessed esthetics using RES following treatment of GR.

Abstract
Proteoglycans (PGs) are largely glycosylated proteins, consisting of a linkage sugar, core proteins, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). To date, more than 40 kinds of PGs have been identified, and they can be classified as intracellular, cell surface, pericellular, and extracellular PGs according to cellular locations. To illustrate, extracellular PGs are known for regulating the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix; cell-surface PGs play a role in mediating cell adhesion and binding various growth factors. In the field of periodontology, PGs are implicated in cellular proliferation, migration, adhesion, contractility, and anoikis, thereby exerting a profound influence on periodontal tissue development, wound repair, the immune response, biomechanics, and pathological process. Additionally, the expression patterns of some PGs are dynamic and cell-specific. Therefore, determining the roles and spatial-temporal expression patterns of PGs in the periodontium could shed light on treatments for wound healing, tissue regeneration, periodontitis, and gingival overgrowth. In this review, close attention is paid to the distributions, functions, and potential applications of periodontal PGs. Related genetically modified animal experiments and involved signal transduction cascades are summarized for improved understanding of periodontal PGs. To date, however, there is a large amount of speculation on this topic that requires rigorous experiments for validation.

Effect of enamel matrix derivative on wound healing following gingival recession coverage using the modified coronally advanced tunnel and subepithelial connective tissue graft: a randomised, controlled, clinical study. Clin Oral Investig 2019; 24:1043-1051. [PMID: 31290017 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-019-03008-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2019] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The potential effect of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) on wound healing following recession coverage surgery is still controversially discussed in the literature. The aim of this randomised, controlled, single blinded clinical study was, therefore, to investigate clinically and immunologically the potential effects of EMD on early wound healing and clinical results following treatment of single and multiple gingival recessions by the modified coronally advanced tunnel technique (MCAT) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (sCTG). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 systemically healthy patients with Miller class I, II or III single or multiple gingival recessions were treated with MCAT + sCTG with or without EMD. Patients were consecutively enrolled and randomly assigned to test or control treatment. Inflammatory markers (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-8, IL-10 and matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-8) were measured at baseline, 2 days and 1 week postoperatively. The following clinical parameters were assessed at baseline and at 6 months postoperatively: Recession Depth (RD), Recession Width (RW), Width of Keratinized Tissue (KT) and Probing Depth (PD). Patient-reported outcomes were analysed by means of a visual analogue scale. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were detected between the 2 groups in terms of inflammatory markers and patient-reported outcomes during early wound healing. In the test group, RD was reduced from 4.0 ± 1.2 mm at baseline to 0.9 ± 1.3 mm at 6 months (p < 0.001), while the corresponding values in the control group were 4.5 ± 2.0 mm at baseline and 1.0 ± 1.0 mm at 6 months, respectively. At 6 months, mean root coverage measured 78 ± 26% in the test group and 77 ± 18% in the control group, respectively. CONCLUSION Within their limits, the present data have failed to show an influence of EMD on the clinical and immunological parameters related to wound healing following recession coverage surgery using MCAT and sCTG. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Early wound healing following recession coverage by means of MCAT and sCTG does not seem to be influenced by the additional application of EMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The potential additive effect of an enamel matrix derivative (EMD) to a subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) for recession coverage is still controversially discussed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to histologically evaluate the healing of gingival recessions treated with coronally advanced flap (CAF) and CTG with or without EMD in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gingival recession defects (5 mm wide and 7 mm deep) were surgically created on the labial side of bilateral maxillary canines in 7 dogs. After 8 weeks of plaque accumulation and subsequent 2 weeks of chemical plaque control, the 14 chronic defects were randomized to receive either CAF with CTG (CAF/CTG) or CAF with CTG and EMD (CAF/CTG/EMD). The animals were sacrificed 10 weeks after reconstructive surgery for histologic evaluation. RESULTS Treatment with CAF/CTG/EMD demonstrated statistically significantly better results in terms of probing pocket depth reduction (P < 0.05) and clinical attachment level gain (P < 0.001). The length of the epithelium was statistically significantly shorter in the CAF/CTG/EMD group than in the CAF/CTG group (1.00 ± 0.75 mm vs. 2.38 ± 1.48 mm, respectively, P < 0.01). Cementum formation was statistically significantly greater in the CAF/CTG/EMD group than following treatment with the CAF/CTG group (3.20 ± 0.89 mm vs. 1.88 ± 1.58 mm, respectively, P < 0.01). The CAF/CTG/EMD group showed statistically significantly greater complete periodontal regeneration (i.e., new cementum, new periodontal ligament, and new bone) than treatment with CAF/CTG (0.54 ± 0.73 mm vs. 0.07 ± 0.27 mm, respectively, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Within their limits, the present findings indicate that the additional use of EMD in conjunction with CAF + CTG favors periodontal regeneration in gingival recession defects. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The present findings support the use of EMD combined with CTG and CAF for promoting periodontal regeneration in isolated gingival recession defects.

Abstract
Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) containing a variety of protein fractions has been used for periodontal tissue regeneration. It is suggested that the proteins contained in EMD positively influence gingival fibroblasts migration and proliferation. Effects of EMD as well as of porcine recombinated 21.3-kDa amelogenin (prAMEL) and 5.3-kDa tyrosine-rich amelogenin peptide (prTRAP) on human gingival fibroblast (HGF-1, ATCC; USA) cell line were investigated. Real-time cell analysis (xCELLigence system; Roche Applied Science) was performed to determine the effects of EMD, prAMEL and prTRAP (12.5–50 μg/mL) on HGF-1 cell proliferation and migration. The effect of treatment on cell cycle was determined using flow cytometry. EMD significantly increased HGF-1 cell proliferation after 24- and 48-h incubation. Individually, prAMEL and prTRAP also increased HGF-1 cell proliferation; however, the difference was significant only for prAMEL 50 µg/mL. prAMEL and TRAP significantly increased HGF-1 cell migration after 60- and 72-h incubation. Cell cycle analysis showed significant decrease of the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase and a buildup of cells in the S and M phase observed after EMD and prAMEL stimulation. This process was ligand and concentration-dependent. The various molecular components in the enamel matrix derivative might contribute to the reported effects on gingival tissue regeneration; however, biologic effects of prAMEL and prTRAP individually were different from that of EMD.

Abstract
Fibroblasts are cells of mesenchymal origin. They are responsible for the production of most extracellular matrix in connective tissues and are essential for wound healing and repair. In recent years, it has become clear that fibroblasts from different tissues have various distinct traits. Moreover, wounds in the oral cavity heal under very special environmental conditions compared with skin wounds. Here, we reviewed the current literature on the various interconnected functions of gingival and mucoperiosteal fibroblasts during the repair of oral wounds. The MEDLINE database was searched with the following terms: (gingival OR mucoperiosteal) AND fibroblast AND (wound healing OR repair). The data gathered were used to compare oral fibroblasts with fibroblasts from other tissues in terms of their regulation and function during wound healing. Specifically, we sought answers to the following questions: (i) what is the role of oral fibroblasts in the inflammatory response in acute wounds; (ii) how do growth factors control the function of oral fibroblasts during wound healing; (iii) how do oral fibroblasts produce, remodel and interact with extracellular matrix in healing wounds; (iv) how do oral fibroblasts respond to mechanical stress; and (v) how does aging affect the fetal-like responses and functions of oral fibroblasts? The current state of research indicates that oral fibroblasts possess unique characteristics and tightly controlled specific functions in wound healing and repair. This information is essential for developing new strategies to control the intraoral wound-healing processes of the individual patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) play a role in enamel formation and the development of the periodontium. Sporadic clinical observations of periodontal regeneration treatments with enamel matrix derivative (EMD), a commercial formulation of EMPs, suggest that it also promotes post-surgical healing of soft tissues. In vitro studies showed that EMD stimulates various cellular effects, which could potentially enhance wound healing. This study examines the in vivo effects of EMD on healing of an oral mucosa surgical wound in rats. METHODS A bilateral oral mucosa wound was created via a crestal incision in the anterior edentulous maxilla of Sprague-Dawley rats. Full-thickness flaps were raised, and, after suturing, EMD was injected underneath the soft tissues on one side, whereas the EMD vehicle was injected in the contralateral side. Animals were sacrificed after 5 or 9 days, and the wound area was subjected to histologic and immunohistochemical analysis of the epithelial gap, number of macrophages, blood vessels, proliferating cells, and collagen content in the connective tissue (CT). Gene expression analysis was also conducted 2 days post-surgery. RESULTS EMD had no effect on the epithelial gap of the wound. On both days 5 and 9, EMD treatment increased significantly the number of blood vessels and the collagen content. EMD also enhanced (by 20% to 40%) the expression of transforming growth factors β1 and β2, vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-1β, matrix metalloproteinase-1, versican, and fibronectin. CONCLUSION EMD improves oral mucosa incisional wound healing by promoting formation of blood vessels and collagen fibers in CT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) with or without an enamel matrix derivative (EMD) on gingival recession defects treated with a coronally advanced flap (CAF) in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Miller class II gingival recession defects (5 mm wide and 7 mm deep) were surgically created on the labial side of bilateral maxillary canines in 12 dogs. After 8 weeks of plaque accumulation, the 24 chronic defects were randomly assigned to one of the following 4 treatments: CAF, CAF with PADM (CAF/PADM), CAF with EMD (CAF/EMD), and CAF with EMD and PADM (CAF/EMD/PADM). The animals were sacrificed 10 weeks after surgery for histologic evaluation. RESULTS In all groups, root coverage was obtained to a varying degree. PADM was well incorporated in gingival connective tissue in the CAF/PADM and in the CAF/EMD/PADM groups. The height of newly formed bone was significantly greater in the CAF/EMD/PADM group than in the CAF and CAF/PADM groups. New cementum with periodontal ligament-like tissue was predominantly found in the CAF/EMD and CAF/EMD/PADM groups. The CAF/EMD/PADM group showed the greatest amount of new cementum among the groups examined, although the difference was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that CAF/EMD/PADM treatment may promote periodontal regeneration in gingival recession defects. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The present results suggest that the combination of EMD and PADM in conjunction with CAF may represent a promising approach for treating single Miller class II gingival recessions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) have recently been harvested and applied for rebuilding lost periodontal tissue. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) has been used for periodontal regeneration and the formation of new cementum with inserting collagen fibers; however, alveolar bone formation is minimal. Recently, EMD has been shown to enhance the proliferation and mineralization of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Because the gingival flap is the major component to cover the surgical wound, the effects of EMD on the proliferation and mineralization of GMSCs were evaluated in the present study. METHODS After single cell suspension, the GMSCs were isolated from the connective tissues of human gingiva. The colony forming unit assay of the isolated GMSCs was measured. The expression of stem cell markers was examined by flow cytometry. The cellular telomerase activity was identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The osteogenic, adipogenic and neural differentiations of the GMSCs were further examined. The cell proliferation was determined by MTS assay, while the expression of mRNA and protein for mineralization (including core binding factor alpha, cbfα-1; alkaline phosphatase, ALP; and osteocalcin, OC; ameloblastin, AMBN) were analyzed by real time-PCR, enzyme activity and confocal laser scanning microscopy. RESULTS The cell colonies could be easily identified and the colony forming rates and the telomerase activities increased after passaging. The GMSCs expressed high levels of surface markers for CD73, CD90, and CD105, but showed low expression of STRO-1. Osteogenic, adipogenic and neural differentiations were successfully induced. The proliferation of GMSCs was increased after EMD treatment. ALP mRNA was significantly augmented by treating with EMD for 3 hours, whereas AMBN mRNA was significantly increased at 6 hours after EMD treatment. The gene expression of OC was enhanced at the dose of 100 μg/ml EMD at day 3. Increased protein expression for cbfα-1 at day 3, for ALP at day 5 and 7, and for OC at week 4 after the EMD treatments were observed. CONCLUSIONS Human GMSCs could be successfully isolated and identified. EMD treatments not only induced the proliferation of GMSCs but also enhanced their osteogenic differentiation after induction.

Abstract
The multipotency of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) and the feasibility of deriving these cells from periodontal ligament hold promise for stem cell-based tissue engineering. However, the regulation of adult hMSCs activity is not well understood. The present study investigated the c-Kit surface receptor and downstream gene expression in hMSCs. The c-Kit-positive population showed increased colony-forming ability rather than differentiation potential. The knockdown of c-Kit and/or stem cell factor (SCF) genes enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity and also upregulated osteoblast- and adipocyte-specific genes, including osteocalcin, runt-related transcription factor 2, osteopontin, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, and lipoprotein lipase. Stimulation with growth factors, including fibroblast growth factor-2, transforming growth factor-β1, and enamel matrix derivative significantly suppressed the mRNA expression of c-Kit. These results support an emerging understanding of the roles of the c-Kit/SCF signal in maintaining the undifferentiated stage of hMSCs by inhibiting the expression of lineage-specific genes in hMSCs and regulating the effect of growth factors on the proliferation and differentiation of hMSCs. The modulation of c-Kit/SCF signaling might contribute to future regenerative approaches in controlling both the stemness and differentiation properties of hMSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to assess the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (RBMCs) in β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) blocks containing extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by human alveolar bone periosteal cells (HABPCs). METHODS HABPCs were cultured in β-TCP blocks for 1 week (group 1) and 2 weeks (group 2). β-TCP blocks containing ECM were then created by drying the blocks for 3 days. RBMCs were cultured in the blocks containing ECM for 2 weeks. In the control group, RBMCs were cultured in β-TCP blocks alone for 2 weeks. HABPCs and RBMCs in the blocks were examined by histologic and immunohistochemical analyses. RESULTS Histology revealed a significantly higher number of HABPCs in the group 2 blocks than in the group 1 blocks. HABPCs produced several bone matrix proteins in the blocks, and these positive reactions in group 2 were significantly higher than in group 1. Both groups showed a significantly higher number of RBMCs than the control group. RBMCs produced osteopontin and osteocalcin in the blocks, and these positive reactions were significantly higher in both test groups than in the control group. The number of osteocalcin-positive reactions was higher in group 2 than in group 1. CONCLUSION Osteogenic differentiation of RBMCs cultured for 2 weeks in β-TCP blocks containing ECM was significantly higher than that of cells cultured for 1 week or without ECM.

Abstract
Periodontal and endodontic diseases are inflammatory responses leading to periodontal and pulpal tissue loss. Regenerative therapies aim to restore the lost structures to vitality and function. Various materials and treatments methods have been used such as bone grafts, guided tissue regeneration, enamel matrix derivatives, growth and differentiation factors, and stem cells. Although the current materials and methods demonstrated adequate clinical results, true and complete biological tissue regeneration is not yet attainable. The current article reviews chronologically the materials and methods used in periodontal and endodontic regeneration highlighting their clinical success and shortcomings, and discussing future directions in regenerative therapy.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, which can eventually result in tooth loss. A three-dimensional (3D) tissue culture model was developed that may serve to grow a 3D construct that not only transplants into defective periodontal sites, but also allows to examine the effect of mechanical load in vitro. In the current in vitro study, green fluorescent protein labeled periodontal ligament (PDL) cells form rat incisors were embedded in a 3D matrix and exposed to mechanical loading alone, to a chemical stimulus (Emdogain; enamel matrix derivative [EMD]) alone, or a combination of both. Loading consisted of unilateral stretching (8%, 1 Hz) and was applied for 1, 3, or 5 days. Results showed that PDL cells were distributed and randomly oriented within the artificial PDL space in static culture. On mechanical loading, the cells showed higher cell numbers. Moreover, cells realigned perpendicular to the stretching force depending on time and position, with great analogy to natural PDL tissue. EMD application gave a significant effect on growth and upregulated bone sialoprotein (BSP) and collagen type-I (Col-I), whereas Runx-2 was downregulated. This implies that PDL cells under loading might tend to act similar to bone-like cells (BSP and Col-I) but at the same time, react tendon like (Runx-2). The combination of chemical and mechanical stimulation seems possible, but does not show synergistic effects. In this study, a new model was successfully introduced in the field of PDL-related regenerative research. Besides validating the 3D model to mimic an authentic PDL space, it also provided a useful and well-controlled approach to study cell response to mechanical loading and other stimuli.

Abstract
Tooth enamel has the highest degree of biomineralization of all vertebrate hard tissues. During the secretory stage of enamel formation, ameloblasts deposit an extracellular matrix that is in direct contact with ameloblast plasma membrane. Although it is known that integrins mediate cell-matrix adhesion and regulate cell signaling in most cell types, the receptors that regulate ameloblast adhesion and matrix production are not well characterized. Thus, we hypothesized that αvβ6 integrin is expressed in ameloblasts where it regulates biomineralization of enamel. Human and mouse ameloblasts were found to express both β6 integrin mRNA and protein. The maxillary incisors of Itgb6−/− mice lacked yellow pigment and their mandibular incisors appeared chalky and rounded. Molars of Itgb6−/− mice showed signs of reduced mineralization and severe attrition. The mineral-to-protein ratio in the incisors was significantly reduced in Itgb6−/− enamel, mimicking hypomineralized amelogenesis imperfecta. Interestingly, amelogenin-rich extracellular matrix abnormally accumulated between the ameloblast layer of Itgb6−/− mouse incisors and the forming enamel surface, and also between ameloblasts. This accumulation was related to increased synthesis of amelogenin, rather than to reduced removal of the matrix proteins. This was confirmed in cultured ameloblast-like cells, which did not use αvβ6 integrin as an endocytosis receptor for amelogenins, although it participated in cell adhesion on this matrix indirectly via endogenously produced matrix proteins. In summary, integrin αvβ6 is expressed by ameloblasts and it plays a crucial role in regulating amelogenin deposition/turnover and subsequent enamel biomineralization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enamel matrix derivative (EMD), the active component of Emdogain®, is a viable option in the treatment of periodontal disease owing to its ability to regenerate lost tissue. It is believed to mimic odontogenesis, though the details of its functioning remain the focus of current research. OBJECTIVE The aim of this article is to review all relevant literature reporting on the composition/characterization of EMD as well as the effects of EMD, and its components amelogenin and ameloblastin, on the behavior of various cell types in vitro. In this way, insight into the underlying mechanism of regeneration will be garnered and utilized to propose a model for the molecular arrangement and functioning of EMD. METHODS A review of in vitro studies of EMD, or components of EMD, was performed using key words "enamel matrix proteins" OR "EMD" OR "Emdogain" OR "amelogenin" OR "ameloblastin" OR "sheath proteins" AND "cells." Results of this analysis, together with current knowledge on the molecular composition of EMD and the structure and regulation of its components, are then used to present a model of EMD functioning. RESULTS Characterization of the molecular composition of EMD confirmed that amelogenin proteins, including their enzymatically cleaved and alternatively spliced fragments, dominate the protein complex (>90%). A small presence of ameloblastin has also been reported. Analysis of the effects of EMD indicated that gene expression, protein production, proliferation, and differentiation of various cell types are affected and often enhanced by EMD, particularly for periodontal ligament and osteoblastic cell types. EMD also stimulated angiogenesis. In contrast, EMD had a cytostatic effect on epithelial cells. Full-length amelogenin elicited similar effects to EMD, though to a lesser extent. Both the leucine-rich amelogenin peptide and the ameloblastin peptides demonstrated osteogenic effects. A model for molecular structure and functioning of EMD involving nanosphere formation, aggregation, and dissolution is presented. CONCLUSIONS EMD elicits a regenerative response in periodontal tissues that is only partly replicated by amelogenin or ameloblastin components. A synergistic effect among the various proteins and with the cells, as well as a temporal effect, may prove important aspects of the EMD response in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The porcine enamel matrix derivative, EMD(®), which is the active component of Emdogain(®), is used widely in periodontics because of its ability to promote the regeneration of soft and hard tissues and to reduce inflammation. Previous studies have used indirect methods to explain its angiogenic and proliferative effects on cells associated with wound healing. In this study we used proteomic techniques to identify proteins in EMD other than amelogenins. MATERIAL AND METHODS Proteins in EMD were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and were identified using mass spectrometry. Proteomic results were validated by western blot analysis of Emdogain. RESULTS Fourteen proteins of porcine origin were identified and included the serine and cysteine proteinase inhibitors alpha1-antichymotrypsin and fetuin A, respectively. Alpha1-antichymotrypsin is an acute-phase factor that has been reported to indirectly down-regulate the expression of the gelatinase MMP-9. Fetuin A, a major glycoprotein component of bone and teeth, is a potent inhibitor of ectopic calcification of vascular and soft tissues and has been implicated in both osteogenesis and bone resorption. It also facilitates plasma membrane repair in damaged fibroblasts. CONCLUSION EMD contains a number of high-molecular-weight compounds which include the proteinase inhibitors, fetuin A and alpha1-antichymotrypsin.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a globally prevalent inflammatory disease that causes the destruction of the tooth-supporting apparatus and potentially leads to tooth loss. Currently, the methods to reconstitute lost periodontal structures (i.e. alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, and root cementum) have relied on conventional mechanical, anti-infective modalities followed by a range of regenerative procedures such as guided tissue regeneration, the use of bone replacement grafts and exogenous growth factors (GFs), and recently developed tissue engineering technologies. However, all current or emerging paradigms have either been shown to have limited and variable outcomes or have yet to be developed for clinical use. To accelerate clinical translation, there is an ongoing need to develop therapeutics based on endogenous regenerative technology (ERT), which can stimulate latent self-repair mechanisms in patients and harness the host's innate capacity for regeneration. ERT in periodontics applies the patient's own regenerative 'tools', i.e. patient-derived GFs and fibrin scaffolds, sometimes in association with commercialized products (e.g. Emdogain and Bio-Oss), to create a material niche in an injured site where the progenitor/stem cells from neighboring tissues can be recruited for in situ periodontal regeneration. The choice of materials and the design of implantable devices influence therapeutic potential and the number and invasiveness of the associated clinical procedures. The interplay and optimization of each niche component involved in ERT are particularly important to comprehend how to make the desired cell response safe and effective for therapeutics. In this review, the emerging opportunities and challenges of ERT that avoid the ex vivo culture of autologous cells are addressed in the context of new approaches for engineering or regeneration of functional periodontal tissues by exploiting the use of platelet-rich products and its associated formulations as key endogenous resources for future clinical management of periodontal tissue defects.

Abstract
Emdogain is a commercial product of unknown composition and is clinically used to induce periodontal regeneration. This study aims to review current knowledge of the in vitro effects of Emdogain on oral tissues and, in particular, factors related to carcinoma. A systematic approach was used to review studies from the Embase and Pubmed databases; a total of 76 studies were included. These comprised in vitro studies of the cytokines in, or regulated by, Emdogain and assays designed to study the effects of EMD on human cells in oral tissues or malignant cells. Several studies have shown that EMD regulates the proliferation, migration, adhesion, gene expression, and cytokine production of (pre-)osteoblasts, periodontal fibroblasts, and gingival fibroblasts. However, the effects of EMD on malignant oral cells are not well understood. EMD seems to have broad regulatory effects on malignant cells and on several carcinoma-related factors. Evidence suggests that patients with premalignant or malignant mucosal lesions should not be treated with EMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate biological effects and gene expression profiles of enamel matrix proteins (EMPs), on human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs), for preliminary understanding of mechanisms involved in promoting periodontal regeneration by EMPs. MATERIALS AND METHODS EMPs were extracted using the acetic acid method, and HBMSCs from human bone marrow aspirates were cultured. Attachment levels, level of cells morphologically attenuated, cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and staining of HBMSCs were measured in the absence and in the presence of EMPs. Microarray analysis was performed to detect gene profiles of HBMSCs by treatment with 200 microg/ml EMPs, for 5 days. Four differential genes were selected for validation of the microarray data using real-time PCR. RESULTS EMPs promoted proliferation and ALP activity of HBMSCs in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and at a concentration of 200 microg/ml significantly enhanced proliferation and ALP expression. However, there were no significant changes between EMP-treated groups and the control group in cell attachment and cell process attenuation levels. Twenty-seven genes were differentially expressed by HBMSCs in the presence of EMPs. Expressions of 18 genes were upregulated and expressions of nine genes were found to be downregulated. There was good consistency between data obtained from the validation group and microarray results. CONCLUSIONS EMPs promoted cell proliferation and differentiation and gene expression profiles of HBMSCs were affected. This may help elucidation of mechanisms involved in promoting regeneration of periodontal tissues by EMPs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) on the release of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in human and mouse osteoblasts. STUDY DESIGN Human MG-63 and mouse MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded onto 6-well culture plates at an initial density of 5,000/cm(2) and grown in Dulbecco's eagle medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum for 24 h. Then cells were cultured either with 100 microg/mL EMD added to DMEM or with DMEM only. After 2, 5, and 9 days' incubation the culture medium was collected and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent analysis. Data were analyzed using Student t test. RESULTS The EMD treatment significantly increased the production of IL-6 and TGF-beta1 (P < .05) at all time points. The release of OPG was also increased in mouse osteoblasts (P < .05). IGF-I and BMP-2 were not detected in both control and EMD-treated groups. CONCLUSION This study suggests that the stimulatory effects of EMD on tissue regeneration are mediated by the up-regulation of local mediators released by osteoblasts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present randomized, double-blind study was to evaluate the clinical response of proximal furcations treated with enamel matrix derivative proteins (EMD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen patients, each with a pair of contralateral class-II proximal furcation involvements, presenting probing depths (PDs) >/=5 mm and bleeding on probing (BOP) were selected. The patients were randomly assigned to: control group (n=15) - open flap debridement (OFD)+24% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) conditioning; test group (n=15) - OFD+24% EDTA conditioning+EMD application. Plaque index (PI), BOP, PD, gingival margin position (GMP), relative vertical and horizontal clinical attachment level (RVCAL and RHCAL), vertical and horizontal bone level (VBL and HBL) and furcation closure were evaluated immediately before and 2, 4 and 6 months after the surgeries. RESULTS At 6 months, the RVCAL gains of the control and test group were 0.39 +/- 1.00 and 0.54 +/- 0.95 mm, while the RHCAL gains were 1.21 +/- 2.28 and 1.36 +/- 1.26 mm (p>0.05). The VBL and HBL gains of the control group were 1.04 +/- 1.12 and 1.00 +/- 1.79 mm, and 0.82 +/- 1.82 and 1.17 +/- 1.38 mm for the test group (p>0.05). In addition, a statistical difference was observed in the number of the remaining class-II furcations between the test and control groups (p<0.05) in this period. CONCLUSION It may be concluded that the use of EMD in proximal furcations did not promote a superior reduction in PD or a gain in clinical and osseous attachment levels, but resulted in a higher rate of class-II to class-I furcation conversion.

Abstract
Enamel matrix derivative Emdogain (EMD) is widely used in periodontal treatment to regenerate lost connective tissue and to improve the attachment of the teeth. Gelatinases (MMP-2 and -9) have an essential role in the promotion and progression of oral cancer growth and metastasis formation. We studied the effects of EMD on human tongue squamous cell carcinoma (HSC-3) cells in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, EMD (100 microg/ml and 200 microg/ml) remarkably induced the MMP-2 and -9 production from HSC-3 cells analysed by zymography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. EMD also slightly induced the MMP-2 and -9 production from benign human mucosal keratinocytes (HMK). Furthermore, EMD clearly induced the transmigration of HSC-3 cells but had no effect on the HMK migration in transwell assays. The in vitro wound closure of HSC-3 cells was notably accelerated by EMD, whereas it had only minor effect on the wound closure of HMKs. The migration of both cell lines was inhibited by a selective cyclic anti-gelatinolytic peptide CTT-2. EMD had no effect on HSC-3 cell proliferation or apoptosis and only a limited effect on cell attachment to various extracellular matrix components. The in vivo mice experiment revealed that EMD substantially induced HSC-3 xenograft metastasis formation. Our results suggest that the use of EMD for patients with oral mucosal carcinomas or premalignant lesions should be carefully considered, possibly avoided.

Abstract
Polyester scaffolds have been used as an alternative to autogenous tissues for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). They are biocompatible and encourage tissue infiltration, leading to neoligament formation. However, rupture can occur, caused by abrasion of the scaffold against the bone tunnels through which it is implanted. Good early tissue induction is therefore considered essential to protect the scaffold from this abrasion. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is used clinically in the treatment of periodontal disease. It is a complex mix of proteins with growth factor-like activity, which enhances periodontal ligament fibroblast attachment, proliferation, and differentiation, leading to the regeneration of periodontal bone and ligament tissues. We hypothesized that EMD might, in a similar manner, enhance tissue induction around scaffolds used in ACL reconstruction. This preliminary investigation adopted a translational approach, modelling in vitro 3 possible clinical modes of EMD administration, to ascertain the suitability of each protocol for application in an animal model or clinically. Preliminary investigations in monolayer culture indicated that EMD had a significant dose-dependent stimulatory effect (p < 0.05, n = 6) on the proliferation of bovine primary synovial cells. However, pre-treating culture plates with EMD significantly inhibited cell attachment (p < 0.01, n = 6). EMD's effects on synovial cells, seeded onto ligament scaffolds, were then investigated in several in vitro experiments modelling 3 possible modes for clinical EMD administration (pre-, intra-, and post-operative). In the pre-operative model, EMD was adsorbed onto scaffolds before the addition of cells. In the intra-operative model, EMD and cells were added simultaneously to scaffolds in the culture medium. In the post-operative model, cells were pre-seeded onto scaffolds before EMD was administered. EMD significantly inhibited cell adhesion in the pre-operative model (p < 0.05, n = 6) and had no significant benefit in the intra-operative model. In the post-operative model, the addition of EMD to previously cell-seeded scaffolds significantly increased their total deoxyribonucleic acid content (p < 0.01, n = 5). EMD's stimulative effect on cell proliferation in vitro suggests that it may accelerate scaffold colonization by cells (and in turn tissue induction) in situ. However, its inhibitory effect on synovial cell attachment in vitro implies that it may only be suited to post-operative administration.

Abstract
Enamel matrix proteins (EMP) induce periodontal regeneration and accelerate dermal wound healing, but the cellular mechanisms of these processes are unclear. We investigated the binding of EMP to the wound matrix proteins fibronectin, laminin-1, collagen type I, and collagen type IV and analyzed the interaction of epithelial cells and periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF) with EMP and composite matrices of EMP + fibronectin or EMP + collagen. The adhesion of PDLF to EMP was concentration- and integrin-dependent and did not require de novo protein synthesis. EMP supported PDLF migration. In contrast, keratinocytes did not adhere to EMP if their protein synthesis was blocked. EMP showed concentration-dependent binding of fibronectin, peaking at 100 microg ml(-1) (before the precipitation point) of EMP. Type I collagen binding to EMP peaked at a low (1 microg ml(-1)) and narrow concentration range. Neither laminin-1 nor type IV collagen bound to EMP. Collagen and fibronectin, bound to EMP, showed significantly reduced (> 50%) binding of both epithelial cells and PDLF compared with the equivalent concentration of these proteins alone. PDLF, but not epithelial cell, adhesion was rescued by increasing the EMP concentration. These findings show that EMP binds to wound extracellular matrix proteins and regulates their adhesive properties. Such interactions may favor fibroblast adhesion over epithelial cells, potentially promoting connective tissue regeneration.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), and a combination of both factors (EMD+TGF-beta1) on periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human PDL fibroblasts were obtained from three adult patients with a clinically healthy periodontium, using the explant technique. The effects of EMD, TGF-beta1, or a combination of both were analysed on PDL cell proliferation, adhesion, wound healing, and total protein synthesis, and on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and bone-like nodule formation. RESULTS Treatment with EMD for 4, 7, and 10 days increased cell proliferation significantly compared with the negative control (p<0.05). At day 10, EMD and EMD+TGF-beta1 showed a higher cell proliferation compared with TGF-beta1 (p<0.01). Cell adhesion was significantly up-regulated by TGF-beta1 compared with EMD and EMD+TGF-beta1 (p<0.01). EMD enhanced in vitro wound healing of PDL cells compared with the other treatments. Total protein synthesis was significantly increased in PDL cells cultured with EMD compared with PDL cells treated with TGF-beta1 or EMD+TGF-beta1 (p<0.05). EMD induced ALP activity in PDL fibroblasts, which was associated with an increase of bone-like nodules. CONCLUSION These findings support the hypothesis that EMD and TGF-beta1 may play an important role in periodontal regeneration. EMD induced PDL fibroblast proliferation and migration, total protein synthesis, ALP activity, and mineralization, while TGF-beta1 increased cellular adhesion. However, the combination of both factors did not positively alter PDL fibroblast behaviour.

Abstract
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods were used to analyse a 5kDa component purified from enamel matrix derivative (EMD), the active ingredient in Emdogain, a commercial product for periodontal tissue regeneration. After initial purification by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) on a 100 cm x 5 cm column (Bio-Gel P-30 Fine, 280 nm), collected fractions were analysed by size-exclusion HPLC (SE HPLC; TSK-Gel Super SW2000, 220 nm). The fractions containing only the 5kDa component were analysed by reversed-phase high-pressure chromatography (RP HPLC; YMC-Pack ODS-A, 200 nm), revealing four peaks of the 5kDa component. From 1200 mg of EMD (of which 9% is the 5kDa component), approximately 65 mg of lyophilised 5kDa component were obtained, corresponding to a recovery of 60%. The SE HPLC method was mainly suitable for qualitative analysis, whereas the RP HPLC method was appropriate for both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To further explore the role of enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) in periodontal regeneration, we have used porcine bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) to observe whether the EMPs could have an effect on their differentiation into cementoblasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, EMPs were extracted from porcine tooth germs by the use of acetic acid. BMSCs obtained from porcine iliac marrow aspiration were inoculated onto the surface of autologous root slices treated with or without EMPs. Following 7-day co-culture, all the BMSC-seeded root slices, with their respective non-cell-inoculated control specimens, were pocketed with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane and were transplanted subcutaneously into 11 nude mice. The animals were sacrificed after 3 and 8 weeks, and the new specimens were processed for haematoxylin and eosin staining. RESULTS Histological analysis demonstrated new cellular cementum-like tissue formed along EMP-treated root slices. CONCLUSION Our work has indicated for the first time, differentiation of BMSCs into cementoblasts using an EMP-based protocol.

Abstract
AIM Evaluate enamel matrix proteins derivative effect on gene expression profiles in cultured human periodontal ligament cell population and its clones. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells were explanted. Cell cloning was performed and clones classified into fibroblastic (FB) and mineralized tissue forming (MTF) according to their capacity to express alkaline phosphatase and form mineralized tissue. All cell cultures were grown for 7 days, with and without enamel proteins added to the medium. Following RNA extraction, expression profiling was performed by hybridization with a DNA micro-array. Selected genes differed from the control at a significant level smaller than p<0.01. RESULTS Enamel proteins induced major qualitative changes in mRNA expression in all PDL cell populations, differently affecting the entire PDL cell population and its clones. In the entire PDL cell population, enamel proteins significantly enhanced PDL cell function, with a general effect on enhanced cell functional metabolism. CONCLUSIONS Enamel proteins enhanced gene expression responsible for protein and mineralized tissue synthesis in the entire PDL population. In the MTF clones, nucleic acid metabolism, protein metabolism and signal transduction related genes were up-regulated, while in the FB clones, up-regulated genes were related to cell adhesion, nucleic acid metabolism and signal transduction.

Abstract
Keratocytes of the corneal stroma produce transparent extracellular matrix devoid of hyaluronan (HA); however, in corneal pathologies and wounds, HA is abundant. We previously showed primary keratocytes cultured under serum-free conditions to secrete matrix similar to that of normal stroma, but serum and transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) induced secretion of fibrotic matrix components, including HA. This study found HA secretion by primary bovine keratocytes to increase rapidly in response to TGFbeta, reaching a maximum in 12 h and then decreasing to <5% of the maximum by 48 h. Cell-free biosynthesis of HA by cell extracts also exhibited a transient peak at 12 h after TGFbeta treatment. mRNA for hyaluronan synthase enzymes HAS1 and HAS2 increased >10- and >50-fold, respectively, in 4-6 h, decreasing to near original levels after 24-48 h. Small interfering RNA against HAS2 inhibited the transient increase of HAS2 mRNA and completely blocked HA induction, but small interfering RNA to HAS1 had no effect on HA secretion. HAS2 mRNA was induced by a variety of mitogens, and TGFbeta acted synergistically to induce HAS2 by as much as 150-fold. In addition to HA synthesis, treatment with TGFbeta induced degradation of fluorescein-HA added to culture medium. These results show HA secretion by keratocytes to be initiated by a rapid transient increase in the HAS2 mRNA pool. The very rapid induction of HA expression in keratocytes suggests a functional role of this molecule in the fibrotic response of keratocytes to wound healing.

Abstract
Regenerative periodontal therapy aims at reconstitution of the lost periodontal structures such as new formation of root cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Findings from basic research indicate that enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) has a key role in periodontal wound healing. Histological results from animal and human studies have shown that treatment with EMD promotes periodontal regeneration. Moreover, clinical studies have indicated that treatment with EMD positively influences periodontal wound healing in humans. This review aims to present an overview of evidence-based clinical indications for regenerative therapy with EMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of effects of patient factors on the outcome of regenerative treatment of buccal mandibular class II furcation defects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-one patients were recruited. In the intention-to-treat population 21 patients were allocated into the sequence left treatment with enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) and right guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and 27 in the sequence left GTR and right EMD. Evaluated patient factors were: smoking, age, gender, hypertension and oral hygiene status. Outcome parameters included change of: (a) horizontal depth of the defect at the deepest point (b) distance from the fornix of the furcation to bone crest of the defect, (c) distance from stent to the bottom of the defect, (d) pocket depth and (e) attachment level at the middle of the furcation. RESULTS In patients 54 years of age and older, in males, in non-smokers and in patients with "poor" hygiene EMD-treated sites showed a significant higher mean reduction of the parameters d (age), b (gender, hygiene) a (smoking, hygiene) when compared with sites treated with GTR. CONCLUSIONS These data provided an indication of a possible effect of patient factors on the outcome of regenerative treatment of buccal mandibular class II furcation defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate cellular effects of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in human derived, primary osteoblasts and periodontal ligament (PDL) cells grown in organoid cultures. STUDY DESIGN Cell replication was assessed by BrdU-incorporation. [(3)H]-proline incorporation was measured to determine the synthesis of proline-containing proteins, such as collagen. In addition, calcium accumulation and alkaline-phosphatase-activity were quantified. Electron microscopy for morphological analysis was performed. RESULTS Our results showed that EMD enhances BrdU-incorporation in PDL cells and osteoblasts. Also, in osteoblast organoid cultures [3H]-proline incorporation was 3-fold increased (P < .01). Extensive matrix deposition was noted in osteoblast cultures by electron microscopy. In osteoblasts, high levels of calcium accumulation and alkaline-phosphatase-activity were found. However, EMD did not promote mineralization. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that under organoid culture conditions EMD is able to promote the synthesis of proline-containing proteins such as collagen but not matrix mineralization of primary human osteoblastic cells.

Abstract
Abstract
We have developed an experimental model to help identify and characterize factors necessary for periodontal connective tissue attachment formation on dental implants. In this pilot study, we report the effect of autogenous periodontal cell grafts, with and without the application of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), on the implant–connective tissue interface. Periodontal ligament (PDL) and gingival connective tissue (GCT) cultures were established from an adult minipig. Implants were placed in osteotomies prepared with exaggerated countersinks that served as recipient sites for autogenous cell grafts in bilateral edentulated posterior mandibular sextants. In addition, 1 side received an application of EMD before placement of the autogenous cell grafts. A bioabsorbable membrane covering the coronal portion of the implants was placed before closure. After 8 weeks, quantitative histomorphometric and qualitative light microscopic analyses revealed that the implants that received gelatin vehicle alone were surrounded by bone, whereas the implants that received GCT cell grafts were mostly surrounded by fibrous connective tissue. In contrast, implants that received PDL cells without the application of EMD demonstrated good bone contact, but strands of epithelium were observed in the implant–connective tissue interface. Implants that received PDL cells and EMD also had good bone contact but without evidence of epithelium. A cementum-like interface was not observed in any of the groups. Results of this pilot study suggest that EMD and the type of cell populations present in the implant wound-healing environment may alter the implant–connective tissue interface.

Abstract
This controlled clinical study investigated the clinical and radiographic outcome of wide intrabony periodontal defects treated by enamel matrix derivatives alone or in combination with a bioactive glass over a period of 8 months. Twenty-three chronic periodontitis patients, who received initial therapy and had radiographical interproximal defects with an associated probing depth of 6 mm or more and an intrabony component of at least 4 mm, were included. Each of the patients, contributing at least one intrabony defect, was treated with either enamel matrix derivative alone (group 1, n=10) or the combination (group 2, n=13). In both groups, all clinical and radiographical parameters were improved. Groups 1 and 2 presented a mean pocket reduction of 5.03+/-0.89 and 5.73+/-0.80 mm, recession of 0.97+/-0.24 and 0.56+/-0.18 mm, relative attachment gain of 4.06+/-1.06 and 5.17+/-0.85 mm, and radiographic bone gain of 2.15+/-0.42 and 2.76+/-0.69 mm, respectively. An intergroup comparison revealed significant differences for all of the parameters, yielding a more favorable outcome towards the combined approach. Within the limits of the study, both treatments resulted in marked clinical and radiographical improvements, but combined treatment seemed to enhance the results in the treatment of wide intrabony defects.
