Utilização do emdogain em defeitos periodontais: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The use of Emdogain® in periodontal defects consists mainly in the resolution of the inflammatory process through the elimination of bacterial deposits and toxins from the dental surface, but it is also based on the maintenance and functional and aesthetic longevity of healthy teeth. Due to these perspectives, the regeneration of the insertion apparatus after an episode of periodontitis has been increasingly sought as a periodontal treatment objective. Thus, the research had as general objective: to expose, through the supporting literature, the use of Emdogain as an adequate instrument, to promote the regeneration of periodontal deformities. And as Specific objectives: clarify the use of tooth enamel matrix proteins as instruments for periodontal tissue regeneration; outline the technique for applying emdogain on periodontal structures and distinguish the improvements in tooth regeneration and its challenges in recent years. The methodology used was a literature review on the use of Emdogain, focusing on its suggestions with scientific basis prepared in online databases. Furthermore, this study proves evidence for proving the support of new methodologies in the construction of a less aggressive periodontal clinical support, on top of oral diseases that are one of the main causes of tooth loss.
