The Effect Of Enamel Matrix Derivatives On Gingival Tissue Thickness
Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Summary
Scientists do research to answer important questions which might help change or improve the way we do things in the future. The investigators know that using Enamel Matrix Derivatives results in thicker gum tissues around teeth. This study will test to see if using EMD around implants results in thicker gum tissues around implants.
