Today,guided tissue regeneration(GTR)and enamel matrix derivatives(EMD)are accepted widely as the regenerative periodontal therapy. Regenerative periodontal therapy by GTR is to create the regenerative space using a physical barrier membrane. On the other hand,regenerative periodontal therapy by EMD is the application of enamel matrix proteins to root surface. So,we report a case of simultaneous approach by GTR and EMD to the continuous bone defects. Such a clinical case has not yet been reported. A 55-year-old woman was treated by GTR and EMD simultaneously between the maxillary right canine and the second premolar interdental bone defects. The membrane was removed after 4weeks. The clinical observation showed that GTR and EMD were almost equal in the amount, however, the surface characteristic of regenerated tissue by EMD was redder and softer than GTR. The radiographic observation showed that radio-opacity was increased at 6months in GTR and at 9months in EMD. This case presentaion indicated that regenerative tissues by GTR and EMD could be confirmed at the time of membrane retrieval. This clinical findings suggest that the surface characteristics of regenerated tissues by GTR and EMD was different. Therefore,it is necessary to do further studies on the biochemical analysis of the periodontal healing process by GTR and EMD. Nihon Shishubyo Gakkai Kaishi (J Jpn Soc Periodontol)47:308―315,2005.
