title: Guided tissue regeneration associated with orthodontic therapy.
abstract: Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) to enhance genuine new periodontal attachment may improve preorthodontic conditions for moving teeth into infrabony defects or for vertical movements of teeth with reduced bone support. The possible benefits of GTR for combined periodontal/orthodontic therapy are discussed and substantiated with preliminary experimental findings.
