Root Instrumentation + Enamel Matrix Derivative Application Periodontal treatment is delivered with ultrasonic instrumentation performed with fine tips. The approach chosen is the one- stage full-mouth ultrasonic debridement in which all the treatment of diseased sites is performed within one hour. In this group, at the end of the instrumentation enamel matrix derivatives is placed in all sites with a periodontal pocket depth deeper than 5mm.
