Abstract

Complex treatment of moderate and severe generalized periodontitis includes surgical phase of treatment in aim to provide regeneration and long-term disease remission. The obtained results confirm presence of osteoinductive properties in enamel matrix proteins, this data may be useful during surgical procedures on periodontal tissues.

Highlights

  • Periodontal diseases (PD) are prevalent diseases among other dental pathologies and are still substantial public burden worldwide [2,3,13,14,36]

  • A major discovery was the finding that periodontal tissue regeneration could be achieved by application of enamel matrix proteins (EMPs), and later – by the FDA approved medical device termed Emdogain [9,10]

  • Ameloginin expression is highest in bone cells adjacent to periodontal ligament (PDL) and in the periosteal cells compared to bone cells distal to the PDL and the periosteum [11,12]

Summary

Introduction

Periodontal diseases (PD) are prevalent diseases among other dental pathologies and are still substantial public burden worldwide [2,3,13,14,36]. Current data indicate that amelogenin stimulates a cascade of events enhancing remodelling and regeneration of periodontal tissues [13,14] Another investigations showed the expression of amelogenin mRNA isoform-M180 in macrophages, suggesting the endogenous expression of amelognin in osteoclasts [3]. Amelogenin was highly expressed in endosteal cells, osteoblasts, and cells surrounding blood vessels in the regenerated area and in much less extent in bone cells distal to the regenerated area [12] It was not clear which types of the EMPs induce the regeneration, and what molecular mechanisms are involved [34]. Treatment with EMD of human osteoblastic cells (SaM-1) from one patient [28] and of rat femoral bone marrow stroma [20], mouse preosteoblastic cell line [15], significantly stimulated cell proliferation. The increased expression of BMP-2, BMP-7, BSP, cementum attachment protein-23
