Enamel matrix protein (EMP) was applied for regeneration of periodontal tissue in 2 dogs with spontaneous periodontal disease. Case 1 had bony resorption around the root and root apex of the maxillary fourth premolars. Case 2 had vertical resorption of bone between the mandibular first and second molars. A flap was formed in the buccal gingiva, and EMP was applied onto the surface of the exposed root. One or 4 months postoperatively, increased bone level and clinical attachment were recognized. EMP was therefore suggested to be effective to induce regeneration of periodontal tissues in the cases with periodontal disease.
牙釉质基质蛋白(EMP)被应用于2只患有自发性牙周病的犬的牙周组织再生。病例1在上颌第四前磨牙的牙根及根尖周围存在骨质吸收。病例2在下颌第一和第二磨牙之间存在垂直性骨吸收。在颊侧牙龈形成一个瓣,并将EMP应用于暴露牙根的表面。术后1或4个月,观察到骨水平增加和临床附着增加。因此,提示EMP对诱导牙周病病例的牙周组织再生有效。
