Enamel Matrix Derivative in Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment

Emdogain® FL is an enamel matrix derivative intended for subgingival and topical application in conjunction with scaling and root planing procedures to provide regeneration of tooth support lost due to periodontal disease. Emdogain® FL has been shown to be effective in residual pockets with probing depths from 5mm to 9mm with no furcation involvement in patients with adequate plaque control. Emdogain® FL has also been shown to enhance the early healing of periodontal soft tissue wounds resulting from the instrumentation of periodontal pockets.

Scaling and root planing procedures as part of non-surgical periodontal therapy involves mechanical removal of dental plaque and calculus using curettes and sonic scalers.
