Gusiyska A, Peev S

Abstract: The main goals of contemporary periodontal therapy include not only the arrest of periodontal disease progression, but also the regeneration of structures lost to disease where this is appropriate approach. The surgical procedures aimed the more predictable regeneration of periodontal tissues and functional attachment close to their original level. The continuous improvements in surgical techniques and knowledge of healing processes leading to advance technology and predictability of the regenerative procedures. The aim of this paper is to present two clinical cases of periodontal regeneration with enamel matrix derivative (EmdogainTM Straumann, Switzerland) as a mono-therapy and EmdogainTM in combination with bone grafting material.
