- Background On June 5th, 2015 at Europerio 8, a group of leading experts were gathered to discuss what has now been 20years of documented evidence supporting the clinical use of enamel matrix derivative (EMD). Original experiments led by Lars Hammarstrom demonstrated that enamel matrix proteins could serve as key regenerative proteins capable of promoting periodontal regeneration including new cementum, with functionally oriented inserting new periodontal ligament fibres, and new alveolar bone formation. This pioneering work and vision by Lars Hammarstrom has paved the way to an enormous amount of publications related to its biological basis and clinical use. Twenty years later, it is clear that all these studies have greatly contributed to our understanding of how biologics can act as mediators for periodontal regeneration and have provided additional clinical means to support tissue regeneration of the periodontium. Aims This review article aims to: (1) provide the biological background necessary to understand the rational for the use of EMD for periodontal regeneration, (2) present animal and human histological evidence of periodontal regeneration following EMD application, (3) provide clinically relevant indications for the use of EMD and (4) discuss future avenues of research including key early findings leading to the development of Osteogain, a new carrier system for EMD specifically developed with better protein adsorption to bone grafting materials

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Objectives: This umbrella review summarizes the clinical evidence across meta-analyses regarding the association between periodontitis and systemic diseases. Methods: Seven databases were searched up to January 2018 for meta-analyses of human studies on the association between periodontitis and systemic diseases. Two independent authors performed in duplicate study selection, data extraction, and methodological assessment with the AMSTAR 2 tool. Data synthesis included random-effects meta-analyses of the cumulative evidence across papers using odds ratios or relative risks with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals. The robustness of each association was assessed according to existing epidemiological criteria. Results: The literature search yielded a total of 707 papers, from which 51 unique meta-analyses were included with most of them having serious methodological weaknesses according to the AMSTAR 2 tool. A wide variety of systemic conditions were statistically significantly associated (P<0.05) with periodontitis including among other: cancers (head-neck cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and oral cancer), cardiovascular conditions (including coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, carotid atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality), chronic kidney disease, erectile dysfunction, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic syndrome, overweight/obesity, pregnancy-related adverse outcomes (gestational diabetes, pre-eclapsia, pre-term birth, low birth weight, and pre-term low-weight birth), respiratory conditions (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatic diseases (including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and systemic lupus erythematosus), and obstructive sleep apnea, with effects ranging from 1.13 to 4.57 (Figure). However, many identified associations suffered from residual confounding, statistical heterogeneity, bias related to their basic study design, discrepancies between the disease prevalence and incidence, and small-study effects. Therefore, less than half of the identified associations between periodontitis and systemic health were supported in the end by robust epidemiological evidence. Conclusions: Periodontitis seems to be associated with many diseases, which might have important repercussions for both disease prevention and treatment.
