title: Guided tissue regeneration: the new frontier in periodontics.
abstract: The ideal goal of periodontal therapy is the reestablishment and regeneration of the lost periodontal tissues. Many different treatment regimens have been suggested to achieve this dream; however, most are unpredictable and highly debated in the periodontal literature. This paper discusses the most current philosophy in periodontal regeneration--guided tissue regeneration. A brief review of the literature, surgical technique, and case presentations pertaining to this procedure are provided.
