Guided Tissue Regeneration in Periodontics- A recent update

Abstract

The three major goals of periodontal treatment are to eliminate the underlying reasons, regenerate or restore the damaged attachment mechanism, and avoid further periodontal damage. Periodontic regeneration refers to the tooth-supporting tissues regeneration such as cementum, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. Among various techniques, GTR (guided tissue regeneration) has been proved to be an effective approach for acquiring periodontal regeneration. GTR is a dental technique that has lately been used to address maxillomandibular abnormalities, oral surgery, periodontal surgery, and implant dentistry. Membranes of many sorts are crucial in GTR operations. This article discusses the bioproperties of a resorbable barrier membrane carrying a growth factor that is now available to GTR.
