| Summary: | The goal of periodontal treatment in not only the stabilization of disease but also the regeneration of the destructed tissue. In the past few years various procedures have been created to achieve this. The guided tissue regeneration is a surgical procedure developed on the basis of experimental studies. It enables the creation of periodontal tissues affected by periodontitis, the so called reattachment. It stands for formation of new attachment--meaning the regeneration of cementum, alveolar bone and periodontal ligament. This surgical procedure of the treatment of periodontitis is based on the principle of exclusion of the epithelium and also the gingival connective tissue from the root surface so the precursor cells (desmodontal cells) can occupy the defect and pursue their differentiation. Periodontal ligament containing cells with regenerative potential are the exclusive ones to have the ability to regenerate structures affected by periodontitis. The use of growth factors offer new aspects to the therapy (Fig. 7, Ref. 11). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk. |
