Abstract

Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection that affects gums, alveolar bone and periodontal ligaments. An innovative approach to treat such infections is guided tissue regeneration which helps in the regeneration of tissues which are lost by this disease. Objectives: To assess the appropriateness of guided tissue regeneration procedures in periodontal management and evaluate the clinical benefits for patients. Methods: An intensive review of literature was made using PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar, by considering articles published between 2020-2024. Some of the analysed works investigated the effectiveness of guided tissue regeneration techniques as compared to other traditional methods of periodontal treatment. The parameters that have been evaluated include tissue repair, decrease in periodontal pocketing, gain in clinical attachment, and the aesthetic crown height index. The studies have been sourced from America, Europe and Asia. Results: Results from the studies highlight the efficacy of guided tissue regeneration techniques in the tissue repair process. It significantly highlights the improvements in dental attachment levels, long-term periodontal health and pocket reduction. However, variation in patients and their specified underlying conditions remain. Conclusions: It was concluded that guided tissue regeneration appears to provide an effective line of treatment for periodontal disease with the prediction of long-term therapeutic outcomes. Further studies should be carried out to enhance the properties of guided tissue regeneration materials and application methods to obtain more consistent results.
