30 years of enamel matrix derivative: Mimicking tooth development as a clinical concept

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of growth factors (GFs) has become a cornerstone of modern regenerative periodontology. While the extent to which GFs enhance tissue regeneration compared to other biomaterials was initially uncertain, it is now well established that GFs play a critical role in the regeneration of various tissue types.
