Abstract
The therapeutic efforts for controlling periodontal diseases focus on the removal of dental biofilm from the affected lesion, as active treatment centers on non-surgical mechanical debridement with antimicrobial and sometimes anti-inflammatory adjuncts. The surgical therapy aims at gaining access to the lesion and correcting unfavorable gingival ⁄ osseous contours to achieve a periodontal architecture that will provide for more efficient oral hygiene and periodontal maintenance. In addition, recent advances in tissue engineering have provided an efficient means to regenerate ⁄ repair periodontal defects, based upon principles of guided tissue regeneration and utilization of growth factors ⁄ biologic mediators. A systematic review confirmed that patients who are seen at regular intervals for supportive periodontal therapy experience less attachment loss and lose fewer teeth
