Usage of biomaterials in contemporary periodontology
Session
Dental Science
Description
The main aim of this article was to make a literature review about biomaterial-based bone replacement grafts, and membrane alternatives that can have periodontal applications. A variety of clinical methods and materials have been investigated over last decades for reparation and regeneration of periodontal defects. The available therapeutic options and their clinical outcomes have improved significantly due to the invention of advanced biomaterials for periodontal tissue engineering. Among the effective grafting materials are allografts, and their use has shown a substantial degree of bone growth and proliferation, making them a wise choice for the restoration of missing bone, caused by periodontal inflammatory process. Polymers, both natural and synthetic, are more commonly used as barrier materials in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) applications. In conclusion, we can note that through using modern biomaterials in periodontology, the success of therapeutic procedures is significantly greater than in the past.
