Gum Tissue Growth Gel & Proteins

Soft Tissue Grafting Treatment 

In order to maximize your healing potential, Dr. Laudenbach may recommend the use of a regenerative growth factor or protein in your treatment. Dr. Laudenbach would be happy to discuss all grafting options with you at the time of consultation.

Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF = Gem 21)

A growth factor which aids in recruitment of cells to the root surface which stimulate reformation of lost periodontal tissue.  This growth factor also stimulates more rapid blood vessel formation which improves the overall healing result. Dr. Laudenbach typically incorporates this growth factor during periodontal regenerative and moderate bone augmentation procedures.
