ALPISTE ILLUECA, Francisco Manuel et al. Periodontal regeneration in clinical practice. Med. oral patol. oral cir.bucal (Internet) [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.4, pp.382-392. ISSN 1698-6946.

The regeneration or restitution of lost supporting tissue has always been considered the ideal objective of periodontal therapy. However, attempts to convert this intention into solid clinical practice can become tremendously complex, the results of which are very different from the original intention. The aim of this article is to offer an up-to-date, general perspective on periodontal regeneration, orienting the clinician within the global strategy for oral treatment. To this end, we revise the healing process of periodontal injury, the different therapeutic approaches, the interpretation of the results, and finally, limiting factors in periodontal regeneration.

Keywords : Periodontal regeneration; bone grafting; reattachment; new attachment; enamel matrix derivative.
