Course Description

This lecture will discuss the history, science and clinical applications of Enamel Matrix Derivatives (Emdogain) in an everyday private practice. Enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain, Biora AB, Malmö, Sweden) has been successfully used in periodontal regenerative procedures as reported by several investigations. Both animal and human studies have shown that Emdogain may lead to the formation of periodontium. The use of Emdogain in periodontal regeneration has been suggested because of its biological origin and properties.

Learning Objectives

• Participants will will become familiar with the history of enamel protein derivatives
• Participants will will become familiar with the science of enamel protein derivatives
• Participants will understand the different clinical applications
