The regeneration or restitution of the lost supporting tissue has always been considered the prime objective of periodontal therapy. For decades, the periodontist has sought ways to repair the damage caused by periodontal disease by surgical procedures which includes the use of grafting materials, barrier membranes and growth factors.
