title: Mineralized tissue-formation in periodontal wound healing.
abstract: The purpose of the present study was to examine and compare the different mineralized tissues that are found on and around the dental root following treatment of different periodontal pathosis. The material has been compiled from previously published experimental studies on periodontal therapies and trauma treatments. 4 distinctly different appearances of the mineralized tissue layers on the marginal dentin surfaces were described; new cementum, non-attached bone-like tissue, partly attached bone-like tissue and ankylosis preceded by root resorption. It was concluded that, healing in the periodontal/root interface following periodontal therapy may yield different mineralized tissues, depending on a number of host-specific and external factors. The temporal pattern of such healing processes is schematically represented.
