Periodontal Regeneration Biological Principles, Regenerative Techniques, Biomaterials and Emerging Approaches

This book provides a comprehensive overview of periodontal regeneration, tracing its evolution from conventional periodontal therapy to contemporary regenerative approaches. It discusses the biological principles underlying periodontal regeneration and healing, including regeneration, repair, new attachment, and the role of periodontal ligament stem cells. The book reviews major regenerative techniques such as curettage, root surface biomodification, platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin, enamel matrix derivatives, guided tissue regeneration, and bone grafting materials. It also examines biomaterials used in periodontal regeneration, prognostic and risk factors affecting treatment outcomes, and emerging approaches including growth factors, stem cell therapy, tissue engineering, gene therapy, and three-dimensional scaffolds. The book aims to provide an academic overview of the development, biological basis, clinical applications, limitations, and future prospects of regenerative periodontal therapy.
