Enamel Matrix Derivative: An evolution over twenty years of practice

Veronique Benhamou DDS. Cert. Perio

Straumann Emdogain (EMD) has been shown to play a significant role in periodontal regeneration. In fact, after 20 years it remains one of the few biomaterials available for clinical use, capable of demonstrating histologically true periodontal regeneration with new cementum formation, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. In this presentation, we will review the in vitro cellular effects and a model of functioning for EMD as well as present a clinical retrospective of twenty years of EMD utilization in private practice. Analysis of the effects of EMD has indicated that gene expression, protein production, proliferation, and differentiation of various cell types are affected and often enhanced by EMD.
