When is this procedure recommended?
Your periodontist may recommend a regenerative surgical procedure when the destruction of the bone supporting the teeth is advanced and cleaning with recontouring of the surrounding tissues is no longer sufficient. This procedure results in the restoration or reconstruction to a large extent of the lost tissue, improving the implant of the tooth and thus its long-term prognosis.
What can we use?
Depending on individual local and general factors, as well as the conformation of the periodontal defect, the following can be used to regenerate lost tissue:
- Bone grafts
- Membranes that are applied between gum and bone
- Factors that stimulate the growth and regeneration of the tissue itself
- A combination of the above
Description of treatments
- Bone grafts: autogenous (harvested from the patient), allogeneic (human transplant) or heterogeneous (bone grafts obtained from animals)
- Membranes that are applied between the gum and bone and act as a barrier to the proliferation (growth) of epithelial (gum) tissue within the bone defect. This promotes bone and periodontal ligament regeneration.
- Factors that stimulate the growth and regeneration of the tooth itself, such as enamel matrix derivatives obtained from dental buds harvested from pigs, bone morphogenesis proteins with a role in the repair of the gingival-periodontal system.
