title: Current concept of guided tissue regeneration with non-absorbable membrane.
abstract: Guided tissue regeneration has been well established as a treatment modality for periodontal disease. Proper case selection and delicate surgical skills can lead to the predictable success. Additionally, the GTR may also be used to treat marginal tissue recession, peri-implantitis, and palato-gingival grooves. Furthermore, osteopromotion with membrane techniques can be used as a means to provide ridge augmentation in ridge defects, or as an adjunct to implant placements. It does play a very important role in implant dentistry and aesthetic dentistry.
