Abstract
The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is the regeneration of structures lost to disease. Conventional surgical approaches such as open-flap debridement offer only limited regeneration potential.Currently, surgical procedures for predictable regeneration of periodontal tissues are being developed, analyzed, and employed in clinical practice. This article addresses current trends in periodontal regeneration. Various materials/agents such as bone replacement grafts, barrier membranes, and biologic modifiers currently used for the regeneration of periodontal infrabony and furcation defects are discussed.Entities:
