Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) alone or in association with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) for the treatment of partially contained intrabony defects. Methods A total of 20 two-walled intrabony defects belonging to nine patients were included. Ten defects were treated with EMD alone (test group 1) and the other 10 were treated with EMD and DBBM (test group 2), applying either modified papilla preservation technique or simplified papilla preservation technique. Results Twelve months after surgery, in the test group 1, PD was 2.8 +/- 0.8 mm, REC was 2.3 +/- 2.4 mm and CAL was 5.0 +/- 2.8 mm, significantly reduced from baseline values (P < 0.05). Likewise, in test group 2, PD, REC and CAL reduced to 3.0 +/- 0.7 mm, 3.9 +/- 1.5 mm and 6.9 +/- 1.1 mm respectively, from baseline values at 12 months (P < 0.05). No significant differences between groups were found. Conclusions The results showed that the use of EMD alone and the use of a combination of EMD and DBBM for the treatment of partially contained defects showed comparable clinical and radiographic outcomes after 12 months.
