Abstract: Pharmaceutical, dental and/or cosmetic composition consisting of purified Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD) proteins which have a molecular weight between 1 and 55 kDa, formulated in a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. The composition is depleted of proteins which have a molecular weight between 56 and 160 kDa and an iso-electric point between 3-10. The purified Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD) proteins are depleted of proteinase inhibitors, such as ?1-antichymotrypsin and/or Fetuin A. The composition is preferably used for promoting and/or inducing regeneration of hard tissue, tissue mineralization, bone growth and/or bone regrowth, regeneration of dentin, cementogenesis, and/or binding between parts of living mineralized tissue, for bonding of a piece of living mineralized tissue to a bonding site on a piece of other living tissue, for endorsing binding between hard tissues, and/or for filling a mineralized wound cavity and/or tissue defect following from a procedure and/or trauma.

Abstract: Isolated active compound of a naturally occurring fraction of Enamel Matrix Derivatives (EMD), having at least one of each two N-terminal polypeptide fragments of amelogenin, which are at least 95% identical to an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ. ID. No:1 and/or 2. The invention relates to the use of said isolated active compound of a fraction and/or of the fraction itself, and/or the at least one of each two polypeptide fragments for use as a medicament and/or for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for a variety of different medical indications such as inducing and/or promoting cementogenesis, bone growth and/or binding between parts of living mineralised tissue, for bonding of a piece of living mineralised tissue to a bonding site on a piece of other living tissue, for endorsing binding between hard tissues, for inducing regeneration of dentin, and/or for filling a mineralized wound cavity and/or tissue defect following from a procedure and/or trauma.
