Abstract

Emdogain® is a unique gel containing an enamel matrix derivative of protein origin. This mixture of natural proteins can induce biological processes; that usually take place during development/regeneration of periodontium by stimulating certain cells involved in the healing process of soft/hard tissues. This agent is intended to improve the quality of patient’s life by reducing pain, swelling and systemic inflammation after completing treatment procedures. Therefore, the aim of this short-review was to understand the rationale behind the use of Emdogain® as a smart biomaterial for periodontal and peri-implant regenerations; and further to provide a clinical perspective for Oral Surgeons and Periodontists in Libya. Keywords: Enamel Matrix Derivative (Emdogain®); Implantology; Periodontology; Wound Healing; Regeneration.
