Guided Tissue Bone Regeneration "regenerates" the previously lost gum and bone tissue. Most techniques utilize membranes, which are inserted over the bone defects. Some of these membranes are bio-absorbable and some require removal. Other regenerative procedures involve the use of bioactive gels.
The goal is to regenerate lost bone caused by gum disease. The techniques involve various types of bone graft materials that Dr. Ira Simon can review with you. Today's Periodontal techniques may allow you to regain lost bone thus strengthening your dentition.
