  Posted by: Dental Design      27th December 2020

Celebrating 25 years of success in the industry, Straumann^® Emdogain^® is an easy-to-use, biomimetic biology-based gel containing Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD), that can be used for periodontal regeneration, gingival recession and wound healing.

It promotes the regeneration of soft tissue formation for accelerated wound healing and reduces risk of complications. For over two decades it has been the gold standard in regenerative periodontology and promotes patient comfort whilst reducing post-surgical swelling.

Straumann^® Emdogain^® provides an effective way of regenerating lost tissue in a minimally invasive way.^{[i] [ii]} It can be used in periodontal pockets of up to 9mm as part of a highly effective non-surgical periodontal hygiene protocol.^[iii] Backed by 25 years of clinical experience and over 1,000 scientific publications (including 600 clinical studies) it provides peace of mind for complex cases, increases patient comfort and predictability and induces true regeneration.

Available from the comprehensive Straumann Group portfolio of biomaterials, Straumann^® Emdogain^® has already proven its worth for more than two decades. With continued investment and development, it looks set to be around for another 25 years to come!
