Interventions

  • Enamel Matrix Derivative — DEVICE
    EMD is an FDA approved medical device used in periodontal procedures since 1996. It has been shown to enhance soft and hard tissue healing, increased root coverage and aid in periodontal regeneration. It's use as an adjunct during implant uncovering may increase peri-implant mucosal thickness.

Study Details

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.
