Enamel Matrix Proteins and Guided Tissue Regeneration With Titanium‐Reinforced Expanded PolytetrafluoroethyleneMembranes in the Treatment of Infrabony Defects: A Comparative Controlled Clinical Trial

Abstract

The use of a regenerative procedure is indicated in the treatment of deep vertical bony defects since both the regenerative techniques (GTR and EMD) in the present study resulted in clinically and statistically significant improvements in clinical parameters compared to the access flap procedure. The use of EMP can be helpful in esthetically-sensitive sites and in reducing patient morbidity. J Periodontol 2002;73:3-12.
