Biologics are materials derived from living organisms, including Emdogain, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). These materials are used in various dental procedures to promote healing and regeneration of tissue, including gingival regeneration (the regeneration of gum tissue), extraction site healing, bone augmentation, and infection healing.
.
Emdogain is a biologic that is used to promote the regeneration of lost or damaged periodontal tissue. It is made from the same proteins that are naturally present in your body and play a crucial role in the development of healthy teeth and gums. When applied to the affected area, Emdogain can stimulate the growth of new periodontal tissue, resulting in the regeneration of lost or damaged tissue.
Emdogain is applied directly to the affected area in a gel or paste form. The biologic is applied using a small brush or applicator, and is left in place before being washed or rinsed away.
PRP and PRF are made from your own blood. The blood is processed in a way that concentrates the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These growth factors play a crucial role in healing and tissue regeneration. When applied to the affected area, PRP and PRF can promote the healing and regeneration of bone, soft tissue, and even nerve tissue.
The biologic is first prepared by processing the patient’s blood in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the affected area using a small needle.
IV Infusions will also be provided during the surgery to optimize the healing and recovery time. They will also be offered during hygiene appointments so that way patients can have one stop optimal health – heathy teeth, and a healthy body.
The use of biologics can lead to better clinical outcomes in the long term compared to traditional methods. This is because biologics mimic the natural processes that occur in the body, and therefore can stimulate the growth and repair of tissue in a more effective way. The use of biologics can also result in improved patient comfort and shorter healing times.
