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.
