Article Synopsis
- The article examines changes in immune cell types in peri-implant soft tissue after three months of treatment with a collagen matrix in 12 patients.
- Researchers used immunohistochemical stains to identify and analyze various inflammatory cells and fibroblasts before and after the augmentation process.
- The study found significant increases in certain endothelial cells and anti-inflammatory macrophages, indicating their importance in the healing process, suggesting potential for future therapeutic developments.
Background: Enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) play a role in enamel formation and the development of the periodontium. Sporadic clinical observations of periodontal regeneration treatments with enamel matrix derivative (EMD), a commercial formulation of EMPs, suggest that it also promotes post-surgical healing of soft tissues. In vitro studies showed that EMD stimulates various cellular effects, which could potentially enhance wound healing.
