This document provides an overview of regenerative materials used in periodontal regeneration. It defines key terms like regeneration, repair, new attachment, and re-attachment. It discusses the results of conventional periodontal procedures and the need for regeneration to support function and aesthetics. The document then examines various regenerative methods including osseous grafts like autografts, allografts, xenografts, and synthetic bone substitutes. It also explores the role of guided tissue regeneration and growth factors in periodontal regeneration.
5. Definitions
• Regeneration: growth and differentiation of new cells
and intercellular substances to form new tissues or parts
• Reproduction or reconstitution of a lost or an injured part
in such a way that the architecture and function of the
lost or injured part is completely restored. (GPT 1992)
6. • Repair: restoration of the continuity of diseased marginal
gingiva and re-establishment of a normal gingival sulcus
at the same level on the root as the base of the periodontal
pocket.
• New attachment: formation of new cementum with
inserting collagen fibers on a root surface deprived of
periodontal ligament tissue
• Re-attachment: the reunion of surrounding soft tissue and
a root surface with preserved periodontal tissue
12. Root surface and its importance
• Altered
• Connects pdl and bone
• Citric acid, tetracycline, fibronectin, growth
factors, EDTA etc..
• Good or bad??
• Role of cementum – is it only attachment??
16. Definition and requirements
• Requirements:-
1. Should help in the formation of new bone
2. Be inert and biocompatible
3. Easy to obtain
4. Predictable
5. Cost effective
6. Non toxic
7. No root resorption or ankylosis.
8. Strong and resilient
19. • The cells contained in graft start forming new bone.
• The transplanted osteocytes die due to anoxia but
osteoclasts survive and may initiate resorption of graft.
• However, adequate revascularization may ensure
increase osteoblastic population.
• Cortical chips, osseous coagulum and a blend can also
be used.
• Larger particle size of cortical bone may however be
sequestered
20. Procedures
• Trephines; available in different sizes
• Olympic ring and significance
• Bone core; compact and cancellous.. Can be
crushed
• Only cancellous can also be used.
• Potential greater for cancellous bone.

24. Advantages and Disadvantages
• Better predictability
• No antigenicity
• Time consuming
• Second surgical site
• Insufficient quantity
• Root resorption!
25. Risks associated
• Nerve damage.
• Mentalis
• Depressor labii inferioris
• Maxillary sinus

Is it still the Gold standard?? – Decide..
26. ALLOGRAFT – BOON OR BANE?
2 TYPES;
• Demineralized freeze dried bone allograft (DFDBA)
and freeze dried bone allograft (FDBA)
• Mellonig (1981) – FDBA is an alternative to
autograft for use in periodontal defects.
• Urist and robinson (1979) - DFDBA
27. Why an Allograft?
• The demineralization – essential; as bone mineral
blocked the effect of the inductive agent; BMPs.
• Osteoinduction: DFDBA (Urist 1970)
• Osteoconduction: FDBA (Goldberg and Stevenson
1987)

• Vernino 1995 - effective
118. Degradation of PLA-PGA
• Enzymes in Kreb’s cycle
• Whether change in pH occurs is not clear but
insignificant
• PLA degradation: 2 stages;
• 1st
; random non-enzymatic cleavage of the
polymer,
• 2nd
, loss of mechanical strength and weight
119. • Degradation releases lactic acid,
metabolized in liver CO2 and water

123. Advantages of resorbable barriers
over non resorbable barriers
• Elimination of 2nd
stage surgery may
1. Reduce operator time
2. Reduce costs
3. Reduce treatment morbidity
4. Inc patient compliance
5. Reduced risk of loss of regenerated attachment
124. • Biologically resorbable membranes hold potential
to:
1. More tissue-friendly
2. Integrate with host tissue.
3. Enhance tissue coverage.
4. Reduce barrier exposure.
5. Resist or reduce microbial colonization.
Advantages of resorbable barriers
over non resorbable barriers – contd..
126. Summary of GTR materials
• Patient selection and compliance
• Criteria for selecting membranes determined by the
type of defect, vascularity and severity of destruction.
In retrospect, are we in the right
direction????
128. • 6 tissue types must be restored for regeneration; ging
epi, ging conn tissue, pdl, cementum, alv bone and
surrounding vasculature.
• Growth factors – general term used to denote a class
of naturally occurring proteins that function in the
body to promote the mitogenesis (proliferation),
directed migration and matrix synthesis (3M).
• For growth factor to help in regeneration, it must play
a role in mineralized and non mineralized tissues
129. Various growth factors and
their origin
Growth
factor
Major source at wound site
PDGF Platelets, macrophages,endothelial cells
TGF – B Platelets, macrophages,osteoblasts
EGF/TGF–A Platelets, macrophages,epi cells, eosinophils
IGF-1 Plasma, epi cells, fibroblasts, bone matrix
bFGF Macrophages, endo cells, osteoblasts
130. PDGF – The key factor!
• Chemotactic for neutrophils, macrophages
and osteoblasts
• Helps in angiogenesis (neovascularization).
• Substantially increases the mitotic rate of
differentiated osteoblasts.
• Faster mineralization of bone matrix.
• Inc collagen synthesis; helps in pdl
formation.
131. • Acts synergistically with IGF-1, bFGF,
TGF-B.
• Helps in re-epithelialization.
• Induces receptor on the surfaces of these
cells and stimulates the cell by signal
transduction.
• Depending on enviroment, it can also
stimulate bone resorption (Cochran 1991)
PDGF – The key factor!
132. IGF-1
• Present in plasma
• Helps in bone mineralization and collagen
synthesis.
• Acts synergistically with PDGF.
• Also acts on endothelial cells.
• bFGF helps in soft tissue matrix formation. Known
to form periodontal ligament consistently.
133. Platelet Rich Plasma
• Nomenclature..concentration
• Growth factor enhancement for regeneration.
• Extensive research
• Realize the synergistic role of growth factors.
• No one factor is individually responsible..
134. • Can be used with bone grafts, under a
membrane or as a membrane per se..
• Availability..
• Techniques of procurement..
• Safety..
• Storage..
• Thrombin..
