Sub-epithelial connective tissue graft and enamel matrix derivative in the management of a localized gingival recession defect: A case report

Within the past 20 years, clinicians have successfully performed mucogingival surgeries to restore periodontal defects. This article describes the application of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in combination with connective tissue graft (CTG) for the repair of localized mucogingival defect. The proc...
