Abstract

Recent study on the enamel matrix derivatives explained on the effects of new bone and new attachment formation in infrabony pocket of periodontal defects.
The purpose of this study was to investigate on the biological effects of enamel matrix derivatives to attachment, proliferation and activation of periodontal ligament and osteoblast cells.
After treatment of osteoblast and PDL cells with various Emdogain concentration level(0.03 µg/ml, 3 µg/ml, 300 µg/ml), activation of osteogenetic factor, calcified nodule formation and measuring alkaline phosphatase activity(ALP) were performed.
1. Both osteoblast and PDL cell showed increasing initial cell attachment with 300 µg/ml Emdogain concentration.
2. At the level of 300 µg/ml, accelerated proliferation of oseoblast and PDL cell was appeared.
3. As Emdogain's concentration increased, increased ALP activation of osteoblast was shown. In case of PDL cell, Emdogain increased ALP activation prominently at the level of 300 µg/ml.
4. No statistically significant activating change were founded at all of the concentrations of Emdogain on the activating of transcript factor Runx2 for differentiating osteoblast.
5. At the level of 300 µg/ml, calcified nodule formation was increased prominently to compare with other concentration.
These results indicated that Emdogain should activate initial attachment, proliferation and activation, but not on Runx2 activation and can be used for useful tool of the treatment of periodontal tissue regeneration.
