Science meets practice: Emdogain® as a wound healing enhancer for full arch implant cases

Prof. Dr. George Furtado Guimarães, lecturer and researcher in Implantology and Periodontology (Brazil), on the advantages of including Emdogain® in the full arch implant cases

“For long time I have explored the benefits of amelogenins (Emdogain®) in periodontology and have been able to save many teeth considered hopeless. An interesting fact that caught my attention was that in sites where I used Emdogain® I could notice a faster and better healing condition in relation to normal therapy. For my full arch patients, I started to apply Emdogain® to the soft tissues surrounding the implants and onto the incision area and the post-op conditions have improved considerably."
