Common target genes of palatal and gingival fibroblasts for EMD: the microarray approach

摘要

Background and ObjectiveConnective tissue grafts are frequently applied, together with Emdogain((R)), for root coverage. However, it is unknown whether fibroblasts from the gingiva and from the palate respond similarly to Emdogain. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effect of Emdogain((R)) on fibroblasts from palatal and gingival connective tissue using a genome-wide microarray approach.
