Abstract:
Objective:To investigate whether enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) has osteoinductive property. Methods: EMPs and propylene glycol alginate (PGA) in the size of 2 mm3 were placed into calf muscle of 8 SD rats on experiment side. PGA was placed on control side. The rats were sacrificed four weeks after operation. The calf samples were examined by histological observation.Result:Bone-like and/or cartilage-like tissues was not observed in all the operated calf muscles. Conclusion:EMPs are not osteoinductive.
