Results assessment of reconstructive bone surgery: 15 years follow up
Periodontal regenerative procedure is a surgical therapy that aims to make up new bone, radicular cement, periodontal ligament (identified as new periodontal attack), demonstrated by histologic studies. The damage of these periodontal tissues is an effect of periodontal disease or occlusal trauma. Histologically, the new attachment is different from the long epithelial attachment. This occurs when there is migration of the junctional epithelium instead of connective tissue.
