Abstract

Periodontal regeneration is a challenging scenario in periodontology. There are various factors which ultimately decide the prognosis and treatment outcome of periodontal regeneration. Periodontal regeneration is complex procedure which also depends on operator’s skills and materials which are used for regenerative procedure. Healing after periodontal regeneration and plaque control maintained by the patient are important in an order to obtain the success of periodontal regeneration. Hard tissue and soft tissue regenerative procedures involve the use of resorbable and nonresorbable membranes, bone grafts including autogenous bone grafts and allografts. Tooth and root anatomy and time needed for the periodontal regeneration are the other scenarios which have to be taken into consideration while doing periodontal regeneration. Systemic conditions, growth factors and immune host response to periodontal treatment decide the relative outcome of periodontal regeneration. There are other factors like space provision, tissue occlusion and wound healing stability. Knowledge obtained from core principles that should guide us in the development of new therapeutic approaches to benefit our patients and, ultimately, our society. But still further research is needed on a large scale to overcome the difficulties and to avoid limiting factors which may affect the prognosis, treatment outcome, maintenance and ultimately success of periodontal regeneration.
