Tissue Engineering - A New Panorama In Periodontal Regeneration

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that causes pathological alterations in the teeth and their supporting tissues, potentially leading to tooth loss. Despite the remarkably high standards of professional periodontal care, incomplete adult dentitions or edentulism are still evident. Several procedures have been attempted to achieve periodontal regeneration, including root surface conditioning, bone graft placement, guided tissue regeneration (GTR). Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary ...
