Root biomodifiers are used to remove the smear layer formed on the roots as a result of mechanical debridement and also to expose collagen fibers making the root surfaces biologically acceptable. Further, the blood element linkage to demineralized roots and clot stabilization by collagen fibres are vital for the wound healing and success of periodontal surgery.
