Tissue regeneration with Straumann® Emdogain

Periodontitis can lead to permanent recession of the gums and jaw bone.

To eliminate this esthetic and functional problem, a possibility is tissue regeneration by means of the protein amelogenin (Straumann® Emdogain). This is applied by the dentist to the root surface to enable regeneration of the gum and jaw bone.

Straumann® Emdogain is well documented scientifically and has been used successfully worldwide in over a million patients.
