GEM 21S

GEM 21S Growth-factor Enhanced Matrix can promote more rapid healing of periodontal defects than other available therapies. Gem 21S is implanted under your gums, you won’t be able to see the powerful effects of the treatment as it occurs. Your doctor will prepare the area to be treated by cleaning it out thoroughly and then filling the space around the tooth, where bone and other supporting structures have been lost with GEM 21S Growth-factor Matrix.

Immediately GEM 21S begins signaling your body to actively begin to heal and regenerate healthy bone and tissue. GEM 21S acts like a magnet, attracting the specific cells that your body needs to regenerate bone and the surrounding tissues, causing them to multiply in number. This increase in cellular activity results in a more rapid healing process. GEM 21S Growth-factor Enhanced Matrix is gradually replaced with your own bone and other normal anatomic structures.
