Abstract :

The objectives of periodontal treatment are not only the control of periodontal diseases but the regeneration of periodontal tissue destroyed by such diseases. A number of surgical procedures to achieve these goals have been devised over the years. The rationale of Guided tissue regeneration is to impede apical migration of the epithelium by placing a membrane between the flap and root surface (preventing contact of the connective tissue with the root surface); cells derived from the periodontal membrane are induced on the root surface selectively and periodontal tissue regenerated. Over the years, the development of membrane technology has evolved significantly.
