Guided Tissue Regeneration

More about the book

The book delves into periodontal therapy, emphasizing the importance of reducing pocket depth to halt disease progression. While non-surgical methods often suffice for moderate periodontitis, advanced cases require surgical intervention, especially with intrabony defects. It highlights the dual objectives of periodontal surgery: facilitating proper root surface cleaning and reducing soft tissue in pockets. Traditionally, this has been achieved through techniques like gingivectomy, but recent advancements focus on regenerative procedures to restore lost periodontal support.
