In this issue, the editor’s choice is the article by Iorio-Siciliano V et al., published in the Clinical Oral Investigations 2020 Jun 19. The article compared the healing of suprabony defects following treatment with either open flap debridement (OFD) and application of an enamel matrix derivative (EMD) with OFD alone.

The results of this study indicated that in suprabony periodontal defects, the application of EMD in conjunction with OFD might additionally improve the clinical outcomes compared with OFD alone.
