EVOLUTION PERIODONTAL REGENERATIVE TECHNIQUES, FROM GTR TO THE USE OF BIOLOGICS AND CTG WITHOUT INCISION OF THE PAPILLAE

COURSE OVERVIEW

In today’s dentistry the aesthetic demand from the patients has become the main challenge in Periodontology. Besides the obvious functional results is now important to achieve aesthetic success, particularly in the anterior areas, where the expectations of the patients are higher. Understanding the biology of the periodontal wound healing, will lead to respect and protect the healing phase. The New Classification of Periodontal Disease is focused on the interdental Clinical Attachment level. The Aim of Classic Periodontal reconstructive surgical techniques is the regeneration of the intrabony defects or the root coverage in case of gingival recessions. Recently the evolution of the regenerative plastic surgery makes possible to treat simultaneously both and the interproximal attachment. Having the base of the classic periodontal regenerative technique and combining the knowledge of mucogingival modern surgical approach it is possible to apply novel techniques, using proper biomaterials to answer to the patient’s demands and regenerate the interdental attachment of compromised teeth with predictable long-term results.
