Periodontal regeneration
One of the greatest challenges in dentistry is periodontal regeneration. The periodontal regeneration It consists of a new generation of bone that surrounds teeth that have been previously lost from periodontal disease or periodontitis. But what the patient should know is that his bone isn't just regained. The periodontal regeneration It also involves the regeneration of the bone, the regeneration of the dental concrete and periodontal ligament, that is to say the regeneration of the whole device of insertion of the tooth (concrete, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone). To get periodontal regeneration Basically there are two technologies: the first and most old are guided tissue regeneration that consists of placing a membrane around the root and the second is applying enameling protein (EMDOGAIN ®) onto the root surface. Both technologies periodontal regeneration require exquisite surgical skills and specialized equipment (not only periodontist but also attending nurses) as optimum conditions of sterility and efficiency are necessary to achieve a satisfactory result. Today, due to the rise of implants, this technique has been put to an end. Nevertheless, at OrtoPerio Clinic we are aware of the value that each tooth has and so we put all our knowledge, skills and efforts at our patient's service so that we can improve their teeth prognosis and save dental parts that if we did not fully master periodontal regeneration techniques they would be sentenced to extraction. In our 20-year experience dedicated exclusively to the treatment of periodontal disease or periodontitis, periodontal regeneration is an atraumatic and highly predictable procedure.
