Enamel matrix derivative in the treatment of tooth replantation: from a biological basis to clinical application.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An efficient therapeutic strategy for patients with replanted teeth has been extremely challenging because complete displacement of the teeth is inevitably accompanied by severe damage to periodontal tissue. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) shows promise for periodontal regeneration, but its effects on replanted teeth remain unknown. This study systematically summarized the biological basis of EMD in replantation dental therapy and assessed its effect on clinical prognosis.

Methods

Potential studies were searched via the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and PubMed databases from inception to November 23, 2023.

Results

A total of 329 patients with 375 replanted teeth met the inclusion criteria. Our pooling results indicated that EMD did not provide a nu
