Growth Enhanced Matrix

What is GEM 21?

Gem 21 is a state-of-the-art approach to rebuilding bone and tissue, combining an active growth factor, (platelet-derived growth factor PDFG), with a synthetic bone substitute, (betatricalcium phosphate). Gem 21 will improve the health of the jaw bone and surrounding tissues that have been damaged as a result of disease.

How do I know GEM 21 is safe?

GEM 21 has a long history of safe use in other medical applications. In addition, it has been evaluated in one of the largest, most rigorous clinical studies ever conducted in the U.S. for a regenerative product in dentistry.

Where can GEM 21 be used?

Because GEM 21 promotes bone and tissue healing it can be used in the treatment of periodontal defects, furcation defects, and gum recession defects.
