You can’t buy respect – you have to earn it[!] How do some of the leading experts in the field of regenerative therapy rate their years of experience with Emdogain® and Emdogain® FL (flapless)?
Prof. Dr. Anton Sculean, Professor of Periodontology University of Bern, Switzerland
"Of all the biological materials available, Emdogain® is a gold standard underpinned by the most solid data. I recommend it to any clinician working in periodontal regeneration.”1
Dr. Jochen Tunkel, Bad Oeynhausen practice, Germany
“I am very taken by Emdogain® and it has become increasingly valued and popular in my practice over the years. I now use it even to successfully treat cases with a very poor prognosis where there is furcation involvement or where buccal and oral bony walls are missing or the defect encircles the tooth.”2
Prof. Dr. Filippo Graziani, Professor of Periodontology, University of Pisa, Italy
“Emdogain® is an extremely flexible product and I can use it in several types of defects, not only in intraosseous, but also in supraosseous and furcation defects. And now, the new flapless application with Emdogain® FL gives us four times the chance of complete resolution from the non-surgical phase of the treatment.”1
“Both local and systemic outcomes indicate that the use of flapless Emdogain® FL results in less fibrinolysis and better periodontal healing of deep pockets. I personally strongly believe that one of the aims of modern periodontology is to reduce the need for surgery. Nobody wants to be operated!”3
Prof. Adrian Kasaj, Professor of Periodontology, University of Mainz, Germany
“Emdogain® allows me to achieve excellent results with my patients which is why this unique biomaterial is such an important tool in my toolkit as a periodontologist.”4
“I started using Emdogain® back when I was doing my post-grad, either on its own or in combination with bone grafts. As well as being highly efficient, what sets Emdogain® apart from other regenerative processes is that its gel consistency makes it easy to use and is associated with fewer postoperative complications.”4
Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli, Professor of Periodontology, University of Bologna, Italy
“Emdogain® is the only biomaterial I have been using day in, day out for 25 years. I believe this is genuinely unique since most of the time dental materials only put in a brief appearance on the market for a few years and then disappear.”5
Dr. Cem Yildiz, Ankara, Turkey
“Straumann® Emdogain® is a unique biological material that enables real periodontal regeneration by supporting the development of new cementum.”6
Dr. Richard J. Miron, Nova Southeastern University, Florida, United States
“I believe biomaterials to be the future of medicine. From this point of view, there is no protein-based product more popular in dentistry than Emdogain®.”7
Prof. Eiji Funakoshi, Professor of Periodontology, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan
“Emdogain® is a magic treatment because it works to accelerate initial wound healing and has anti-inflammatory effects, such as no post-operative pain or swelling in conjunction with periodontal regeneration.”8
Prof. Leonardo Trombelli, Professor of Periodontology, University of Ferrara, Italy
“The simplicity in performing the surgical access to the intraosseous lesion, according to SFA (Single Flap Approach) principles, perfectly matches the ease of EMD application to support conditions for periodontal regeneration.”9
“I have been using Emdogain® since 1998. The appropriate use of Emdogain® in intra-osseous and furcation lesions may help restore missing periodontal support, thus ensuring long-term retention of the teeth.”1
Prof. Ui-Won Jung, Professor of Periodontology, Yonsei University, South Korea
“Emdogain® is a breakthrough material that achieves alveolar tissue regeneration, one of the most difficult challenges in dentistry.”10
Dr. Antonios Zampelis,Clinic for Periodontics, Goteborg, Sweden
“I like to use Emdogain® because it is a genuinely biological product supported by a broad range of clinical evidence. There is a misconception that Emdogain® only works if the defect is minor, and this could not be further from the truth. If tissue management and suturing is optimized, it can be effective even in major lesions. I like the predictability of the results, the absence of postoperative morbidity and the simplicity of the method. And initial tissue healing is much better than with any other regenerative procedure.”11
