Capability of enamel matrix derivative to induce dentine after pulp capping in humans


Abstract in English

Amelogenins from ameloblast play an important rule in differntiating odontoblasts in dental papilla, suggesting that amelogenins may associate with odontoblasts changes during development. Aim In the present study we have investigated the effects of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) on the healing of pulpal wound and formation of reperative dentin.
