Periodontal Regeneration with Enamel Matrix Derivative in the Management of Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis: A Case Report with 11-Year Follow-up and Literature Review.

Objectives: Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) represents an uncommon but rapidly advanced inflammatory process, which involves the destruction of periodontal tissues. This study aimed to report a case of generalized AgP (GAgP), where the treatment approach consists of the utilization of the full-mouth disinfection protocol (FMDP) in conjunction with flap curettage and regenerative appliance of enamel matrix derivatives (EMDs). The associated literature was also reviewed.
