PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate histologically the effect of an enamel matrix derivative as a pulpotomy agent in primary canines. METHODS Ten carious primary canines among teeth deemed for serial extraction were selected for this study. Emdogain gel was used as the pulp dressing material on the amputated pulp stumps. Teeth were extracted postoperatively after: (1) 1 week; (2...

aim: to investigate the effect of emdogain gel (emd) in pulpotomized primary molars and its clinical and radiographic outcomes. methods and materials: in this   study, 18 lower second primary molars of nine children were treated by   pulpotomy. the teeth were randomly assigned to the emd (experimental) and formocresol (control) groups in each patient (split mouth). following removal of the coro...

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...

INTRODUCTION Direct pulp capping procedure is a therapeutic application of a drug on exposed tooth pulp in order to ensure the closure of the pulp chamber and to allow the healing process to take place. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the histological effects of Emdogain® on exposed tooth pulp of a Vietnamese pig (Sus scrofa verus). METHODS The study comprised 20 teeth of a V...

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...
