A Multicenter Comparative Study of Two Root Coverage Procedures: Coronally Advanced Flap With Addition of Enamel Matrix Proteins and Subpedicle Connective Tissue Graft

Abstract

The connective tissue graft procedure was superior to the coronally positioned flap with the addition of enamel matrix proteins derivative in percentage of coverage and increase in width of keratinized tissue. The EMD procedure is a predictable treatment for root coverage that is relatively easy to perform and presents low patient morbidity, and is appropriate especially where a substantial increase in the width of keratinized tissue is not of prime importance.
