Bisphosphonates are medications used to treat bone conditions like osteoporosis. They can cause a rare condition called bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) characterized by exposed bone in the jaw that does not heal. BRONJ risk increases with more potent bisphosphonates used for longer durations. Dental procedures also increase BRONJ risk. Doctors should optimize oral health and extract teeth needing treatment before starting bisphosphonates when possible to reduce BRONJ risk. For patients with BRONJ, treatment focuses on pain relief and stopping progression.

JCP 2015.
Guided tissue regeneration is a technique that uses barrier membranes to selectively prevent epithelial and gingival connective tissue cells from migrating into periodontal defects and allows repopulation of the defect with periodontal ligament cells, bone, and cementum. The history of GTR began in the 1980s with experiments using various membranes in animal models that demonstrated regeneration of periodontal structures. The objectives of an ideal GTR membrane are that it is biocompatible, maintains a space between the root and gum tissue, and degrades after initial healing. The surgical procedure involves raising a flap, debriding the defect, placing and suturing the membrane, and closing the flap to cover it.
The document discusses guided tissue regeneration (GTR) in treating endodontic-periodontal lesions. It describes how GTR involves placing a barrier membrane to prevent non-bone cells from migrating first to the root surface, facilitating new bone formation. For combined lesions, both endodontic therapy and periodontal regenerative procedures are needed. A case example is provided where a patient with a deep probing defect and tooth mobility underwent root canal treatment, scaling and root planing, and later GTR using an autogenous bone graft and membrane.
L-PRF for increasing the width of keratinized mucosa around implants: A split...MD Abdul Haleem
This randomized controlled pilot clinical trial evaluated the use of L-PRF membranes for increasing the width of keratinized mucosa around dental implants compared to free gingival grafts. The results showed that both treatments significantly increased the width of keratinized mucosa by 6.0 mm for L-PRF and 7.3 mm for free gingival grafts. However, patients reported significantly less postoperative pain with L-PRF, and it required less surgery time than free gingival grafts. While both treatments were effective at creating keratinized tissue, L-PRF provided advantages of lower morbidity and shorter procedure time for patients.

Biologic and composite mesh for repairSandip Ingle
This document summarizes recent updates on biologic and composite mesh for tissue repair. It discusses the limitations of conventional meshes and need for alternative options. Biologic meshes are derived from human or animal tissues and act as scaffolds for host tissue ingrowth. Composite meshes combine non-absorbable polymers with absorbable barriers. Both biologic and composite meshes aim to reduce complications like infections and adhesions compared to conventional meshes, but more long-term data is still needed before widespread adoption.
- Periapical wound healing is the host's programmed immunoinflammatory defense mechanism in response to infection or injury. It involves complex overlapping stages including inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.
- The primary difference between healing after surgery and nonsurgical root canal treatment is that surgery requires blood clot formation and may result in faster healing dynamics. After successful nonsurgical root canal treatment, periapical inflammatory tissues will be eliminated mainly by phagocytic debridement.
- Healing involves osseous healing of trabecular and cortical bone as well as dentoalveolar healing resulting in repair or regeneration of the apical attachment apparatus. Various factors like age, tooth position, and root canal filling material can
Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous platelet concentrate that can be used to deliver growth factors to bone defects for regeneration. It has advantages over platelet rich plasma as it requires no biochemical handling or additives like bovine thrombin. PRF is prepared by centrifuging blood samples without anticoagulant. This results in a fibrin clot containing platelets and growth factors between the acellular plasma and red blood cell layers. PRF can be used with bone grafts or as a membrane to promote wound healing, bone growth, and graft stabilization. The case report describes using PRF mixed with a bone graft to regenerate an intra-bony defect in a patient, which resulted in reduction of pocket
This document provides an overview of regenerative periodontal surgery techniques. It discusses the historical concepts of periodontal regeneration including bone grafts, guided tissue regeneration (GTR), and the emerging field of tissue engineering. Key cellular mediators and signaling molecules that can promote periodontal regeneration are described, including platelet-derived growth factor, bone morphogenetic proteins, insulin-like growth factor, and enamel matrix derivative. The document also reviews the different cell types involved in periodontal regeneration, including dental pulp stem cells, periodontal ligament stem cells, dental follicle progenitor cells, and dental epithelial stem cells. The criteria for achieving true periodontal regeneration and methods to guide cell differentiation and maturation are also summarized.
A general introduction to employment of utilities of meshes as surgical implant. Relevant biomaterial engineering basis are highlighted in context of current limitations of mesh-tissue integration and areas of ongoing translational scientific research.
Mesh infection is one of most disastrous complication following hernia surgery. The consequences are more complex especially following a laparoscopic hernia repair operation. Understanding the pathophysiology of mesh infections is pivotal in adopting preventive strategies. Once infected, exact determination of the extent of the septic complication by CECT is essential. A two staged surgical intervention yields excellent results. A case of infected laparoscopic mesh repair treated by a two staged operation is presented along with a brief review of literature to highlight the safety and efficacy of this approach.
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) uses barrier membranes to exclude epithelial and gingival connective tissue from accessing root surfaces in order to promote regeneration of periodontal tissues. The key concepts of GTR include Melcher's concept that the cell type which repopulates the root surface determines attachment outcomes. Non-resorbable and resorbable membranes have been developed for use as barriers in GTR procedures. Factors like patient characteristics, defect morphology, surgical technique, and membrane properties influence clinical outcomes of GTR for treating conditions like intrabony defects.

The document discusses hernial prostheses and hernia repair. It defines hernia and describes common sites. Treatment involves either suturing or using mesh, with mesh repair providing better outcomes with lower recurrence rates. The ideal properties of hernial prostheses are discussed. Common prosthetic materials include polypropylene, polyester and PTFE meshes. Composite meshes with absorbable or non-absorbable barriers are also presented to prevent adhesions during intra-abdominal placement. Mechanisms of biomaterial integration and healing with and without a prosthesis are described.
1) Infected nonunions occur when a fracture healing process halts due to mechanical or biological failure, with a gap filled with fibrous tissue, and infection is present.
2) Common causes include open fractures that become infected, or infections developing after surgery to repair closed fractures. The infection can lead to bone and tissue loss.
3) Treatment requires aggressive debridement of all infected and dead tissue, stabilization of the fracture, soft tissue coverage to prevent reinfection, and bone grafting to fill defects and promote healing.
This document discusses platelet concentrates and their role in wound healing. It describes techniques for obtaining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) through blood centrifugation. PRP and PRF contain growth factors that are released from platelet granules and promote wound healing through angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and recruitment of cells. The document outlines the clinical applications of PRP and PRF in various surgical procedures and injuries to enhance healing. It also reviews the advantages and limitations of different platelet concentrate collection methods.
Abstract—This study was aimed to present a case report of a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma which is a rare case. This case was a 30 years non smoker male with the chief complaint of growth of gum tissue, moderately large in the mandibular posterior region. On intraoral examination, a peduncalated growth of 17 x 12 x 6 mm on marginal and attached gingiva with respect to tooth number 47 considerably hard in consistency and movable was seen. The lesion was erythmatous having a smooth non ulcerated surface. It was asymptomatic with no sign of pain. Intra oral periapical radiograph was taken which revealed slight erosion of crest of bone which was later confirmed during surgical excision. The possible reason of crestal bone erosion may be constant pressure of the growth. Differential diagnosis of irritation fibroma, pyogenic granuloma and peripheral giant cell granuloma was considered. However, clinical appearance and consistency was of a hard fibrous growth, which therefore led to a provisional diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma or peripheral odontogenic fibroma.
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a non-neoplastic enlargement of the gingival, which is one of the main
benign, reactive hyperplastic inflammatory lesions of the gingiva occurring in young adults. It has a very high
recurrence rate of around 7-45%. For this reason, a longer patient follow-up is very important in POF. Peripheral
ossifying fibroma comprises about 9% of all gingival growths. POF has similar clinical presentations with different
lesions which makes it difficult to reach at a correct diagnosis. In this article, we are reporting a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in a 16-year-old female patient.

Ellis Class 7 management of a young child.pptxAshokKp4
This document presents a case study of a 7-year old male patient who experienced pain and loosening of his upper front tooth after an accidental fall. Clinical examination revealed an Ellis Class VII fracture of tooth 21 with an open apex. The treatment plan involved emergency extraction of tooth 62, splinting of tooth 21, apexogenesis of tooth 21 using platelet-rich fibrin, and follow-up appointments. The case discusses the use of platelet-rich fibrin for inducing bleeding and facilitating continued root development in immature teeth with open apices.
The document describes a novel surgical technique called nonincised papillae surgical approach (NIPSA) for treating periodontal defects. NIPSA involves making a single horizontal incision in the mucosa away from the marginal tissues to access the defect, leaving the marginal tissues intact. This preserves the integrity of the interdental soft tissues and blood supply. The technique is modified to incorporate connective tissue grafts to treat advanced periodontal defects associated with buccal bone loss. Four case studies demonstrate positive outcomes with reduced pocket depth and clinical attachment gain using NIPSA with connective tissue grafts. The grafts are thought to improve wound stability, prevent soft tissue collapse, and delay epithelial downgrowth to create optimal conditions
This document reports a case study of a 63-year-old male patient with an unusual presentation of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF). POFs typically affect younger females in the maxillary anterior gingiva. In this case, the POF occurred in an older male patient in the mandibular anterior gingiva. Histological examination of the excised lesion found features consistent with POF, including calcified deposits resembling cementum or bone within a cellular fibrous connective tissue stroma. While the etiology of POF remains uncertain, this case supports the view that at least some POFs may be true neoplastic lesions rather than purely reactive proliferations.
1. Aggressive periodontitis is a rare, severe form of periodontitis typically affecting young individuals under 30 years of age. It is characterized by rapid attachment and bone loss.
2. It is caused by specific pathogens like Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and has a strong genetic component. Patients often exhibit impaired neutrophil function and hyper-inflammatory responses to bacterial toxins.
3. Aggressive periodontitis is classified into localized and generalized forms depending on the extent of involvement and treated through non-surgical therapies like scaling and root planing along with systemic antibiotics.
The document discusses diagnosis and treatment of peri-implant disease. It begins by introducing the history of dental implants and defines peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.

The document then examines the histology and microbiology of healthy and diseased peri-implant tissues.
Simultaneous vertical guided bone regeneration and guided tissue regeneration...threea3a
This clinical case report describes using recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB) along with autogenous bone and barrier membranes to reconstruct severe alveolar bone defects in the posterior maxilla through simultaneous vertical ridge augmentation and sinus floor elevation. Over 9 months of healing, complete vertical bone regeneration and new attachment to a previously denuded root surface were observed. Three implants were successfully placed and a fixed restoration was provided, demonstrating the potential for rhPDGF-BB to enhance regeneration when combined with standard bone grafting techniques and membranes. However, further controlled studies are needed to fully evaluate the benefits of using rhPDGF-BB for complex reconstruction procedures.

The document defines and classifies periodontal pockets. Key points:
- Periodontal pockets are pathologically deepened gingival sulci with destruction of supporting tissues.
- They are classified as suprabony, infrabony, or furcation pockets based on their location relative to alveolar bone.
- Periodontal pockets contain plaque, microorganisms, inflammatory cells and products that drive the pathogenesis of periodontitis through host immune response and tissue destruction.
- Probing depth measures pocket depth while attachment loss measures loss of supporting tissues from their original position. Pocket depth does not always correlate with severity of bone loss.

periodontal regeneration article in grade III mobile tooth with poor prognosisAvadhesh Tiwari
This case report describes the treatment of a periodontal intrabony defect using a combination of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). A 45-year old female patient presented with a grade III mobile tooth and intrabony defect. Non-surgical therapy was initially performed followed by regenerative surgery using DFDBA mixed with PRF to fill the defect. Follow-up at 6 months found reduced pocket depth, clinical attachment gain, reduced mobility, and bone fill on radiographs, indicating regeneration. The report concludes the combination of DFDBA and PRF resulted in superior clinical outcomes for treating the intrabony defect.
comparison between sticky bone and concentrated growth factorRutu Dabhi
This randomized clinical trial compared the efficacy of sticky bone (an autologous fibrin glue-enriched bone graft matrix) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) in treating intrabony defects. 40 intrabony defects in 20 patients were randomly assigned to receive either sticky bone or CGF. Clinical parameters and cone-beam computed tomography scans found that sticky bone resulted in significantly greater clinical attachment level gain, probing pocket depth reduction, and defect depth reduction compared to CGF alone at 12 months. The study concluded that sticky bone is more effective than CGF for treating intrabony osseous defects.
This document discusses the anatomy, histology, and clinical significance of the attached gingiva. It defines attached gingiva as the portion of gingiva firmly bound to the underlying alveolar bone. The normal width of attached gingiva is described to be greater in the anterior regions. Inadequate width is associated with increased risk of recession and plaque formation. Methods for measuring width and increasing width through surgery are presented. The importance of keratinized tissue for protection and force distribution is explained.
Journal club on Surgical treatment of periiMplantitis using a bone substitute...Shilpa Shiv
This study evaluated the 5-year outcomes of surgical treatment of peri-implantitis using a bone substitute with or without a resorbable membrane. 38 patients with peri-implantitis were treated with either a bone substitute alone or with a membrane. At 5 years, clinical improvements from treatment were maintained, including reduced bleeding and probing depths. Radiographic bone fill increased by 1.1-1.3 mm with no significant difference between treatment groups. Strict post-surgical plaque control was important for successful treatment outcomes. The membrane did not provide additional benefit to bone fill.
Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma: A Case Reportiosrjce
This case report describes a peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in a 50-year-old male patient. The patient presented with a 3x3 cm swelling in the mandibular left posterior region. Radiographs showed well-marginated radiopaque lesions with radiolucent foci suggestive of calcifications. Histopathological examination revealed variable thickness stratified squamous epithelium with fibrovascular connective tissue containing dense collagen fibers, compressed blood vessels, chronic inflammatory cells, and osseous-like structures, confirming the diagnosis of POF. POF is a benign reactive gingival lesion that is commonly mistaken for other lesions clinically. Complete surgical excision is the recommended treatment due to the lesion's recurrence

SOCKET PRESERVATION TECHNIQUE- A Case Presentation.pptxAshokKp4
This case report describes the use of a combined epithelialized-subepithelial connective tissue graft for socket preservation and ridge preservation after tooth extraction. The socket was grafted with a bone graft material. A connective tissue graft from the palate with an epithelialized layer was adapted to the socket dimensions and sutured into place. This provided primary closure of the socket to prevent bone and soft tissue loss. At follow-up after 6 months, the width and height of the ridge were maintained, demonstrating the effectiveness of this socket preservation technique using a combined soft tissue graft.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

26. THE MAXILLARY INCISOR REGION IS AN AREA
OF EMBRYOLOGICAL HAZARD.
Anatomic aberrations like root grooves can occur here,
which form stagnant sites or ecological niches favoring
the retention and growth of micro-organisms.
Grooves may facilitate plaque growth by providing
surface areas sheltered from cleaning efforts as well as
host defense mechanisms.
Later, bacterial selection and growth may be influenced by
anaerobic conditions established inside the grooves.

28. A MODERATE RADICULAR GROOVE - TREATMENT
Effective management requires an appropriate
combination of periodontal, endodontic, and operative
procedures.
To encourages sulcular reattachment and prevent
bacteria from gaining access to the groove at the

Periodontal disease is a host modulated multifactorial infectious disease resulting in inflammation within supporting structures of the teeth, which leads to progressive attachment loss , bone loss and hence the loss of the tooth.
Not only the local or systemic factors which may contribute to periodontitis but there are various diverse anatomic or morphological tooth anomalies are found in various shapes and textures.
These features contribute to changes in dento-gingival relationships, thus making it more prone to harboring virulent periodontal pathogens leading to site specific localized periodontitis
These anatomic variations are often overlooked as etiologic factor hence this case report describes the diagnosis and clinical management of a maxillary central incisor with localized periodontal destruction associated with a labial cervical vertical groove.
--(1) a mild subgingival shallow groove below
the marginal gingiva that can be felt only by
probing (Fig 1); (2) a moderate groove that can
be detected with the eyes, extending subgingivally
as in (1), and additionally supragingivally
on the labial crown surface, not more than 2
mm from the marginal gingiva in the incisal
direction (Fig 2); and (3) a severe defect
extending supragingivally more than 2 mm
from the marginal gingiva on the labial crown
surface and further subgingivally (Fig 3).
As this groove provides nidus for accumlation of plaque and calculus, if left untreated
may worson the periodontal conditions and result in periapical pathosis too.
A 29 year-old male patient reported with a chief complaint of dull, gnawing, intermittent pain with respect to upper front teeth.
On examination a localized gingival inflammation was present with the accumulation of plaque and calculus with respect to 11
Periodontal examination revealed a probing pocket depth of 10 mm on the mid labial aspect of 11.
Intra oral radiograph examination revealed interdental bone loss with respect to both mesial and distal aspect of 11.
When mixed with the graft, PRF
fragments serve as a biological connector between bone particles.
Moreover, the gradual release of cytokines plays a significant role
in the self‑regulation of inflammatory and infectious phenomena
within the grafted material.
First,fibrin clot plays an important mechanical role in maintaining and protecting the graft and PRF fragments serve as biological connectors between bone particles.
Second, fibrin network facilitates cellular migration, vascularization, and survival
of the graft.
Third, the growth factors (PDGF, TGF-β, IGF-1) are gradually released as the fibrin matrix is resorbed, thus creating a perpetual process of healing.
Lastly, the presence of leukocytes and cytokines in the fibrin network can play an important role in the self-regulation of inflammatory and infectious phenomena within the grafted material.
It not only maintains the structural and anatomical configuration but also contributes to the enhancement of healing through reduction of post operative scarring and subsequent loss of function and providing a rich source of stem cells.
Amnion has shown an ability to form as an early physiologic “seal” with the host tissue precluding bacterial contamination
Amnion tissue contains growth factors that may aid in the formation of granulation tissue by stimulating fibroblast growth and neovascularization
It has an ability to decrease the host immunologic response via mechanisms such as localized suppression of polymorphonuclear cell migration
LAMININ‑5 being the most prevalent plays a role in the cellular adhesion of gingival cells and concentrations of this glycoprotein is useful for periodontal grafting procedures.
AM creates a natural scaffold for self-seeding in tissue engineering as the epithelium retains reservoir of stem cells.
AM can modulate angiogenesis and promote wound healing.
It also acts as a scaffold for cell proliferation and regeneration.
Unlike other barrier membranes, AM is biologically active due to the presence of stem cells and growth factors that hasten granulation tissue formation and acts as a bioactive matrix that facilitates cell migration.
The wound healing property is further enhanced by the physiological seal obtained with gingiva.
amniotic membrane enhances gingival wound healing properties and reduces scarring
laminin‑5 being
the most prevalent. It plays a role in the cellular adhesion
of gingival cells and concentrations of this glycoprotein in
amniotic allograft may be useful for periodontal grafting
procedures
Amnion tissue contains growth factors that may aid in the
formation of granulation tissue by stimulating fibroblast
growth and neovascularization.[19] In addition, the cells found
within tissue exhibit characteristics associated with stem cells
and may enhance clinical outcomes.
A recent resorbable amniotic membrane not only maintains the structural and anatomical configuration of regenerated tissues but also enhances gingival wound healing, provides a rich source of stem cells.
The Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) in the AM decrease the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines like Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) and Interferon (IFN) while increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-10 and interleukin-4.
Various tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 1, 2, 3, and 4, interleukin-10, and interleukin-1 receptor antagonists and endostatin which inhibit endothelial cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and tumor growth are also expressed by human amniotic epithelial and mesenchymal cells
Therefore, amniotic membrane is choice of material these days in augmenting the better results in various periodontal procedures.
Advances in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine have presented opportunities for tissue engineering and gene-based approaches in periodontal therapy.
These new approaches offers interesting alternatives to existing therapies for the repair and regeneration of the periodontium.
The clinical application of amniotic membrane for guided tissue regeneration (GTR) while fulfilling the current mechanical concept of GTR, amends it with the modern concept of biological GTR.
Amniotic membrane not only maintains the structural and anatomical configuration of regenerated tissues but also contribute to enhancement of healing.
