Emdogain Gel

What is Emdogain Gel?

Emdogain gel is an enamel matrix protein of porcine origin.

Why is Emdogain Gel used?

Periodontitis is a common disease. It is caused by bacteria (plaque) which collects between the teeth and gums. This bacteria causes infection which destroys the fibers that anchor your teeth to your jawbone. Once these fibers are gone, bone loss follows. Without fiber and bone, your teeth may become loose and may eventually be lost. Emdogain Gel is used to help rebuild the lost tissues. It may also be used to repair and cover exposed roots due to gum recession.

How does Emdogain Gel work?

Emdogain Gel is a revolutionary product that allows your body to rebuild the natural attachment that is required to support your teeth. Emdogain Gel utilizes a protein to reestablish new tooth attachment previously lost due to moderate to severe periodontitis.
