Abstract

BACKGROUND: The mechanisms by which new periodontium is established on root surfaces previously exposed to periodontal disease has been an area of active research interest for the past decade.

METHODS: Recently, histological examination of periodontal regeneration has revealed a complex process orchestrated by temporo-spatial specific cell-matrix interactions.

RESULTS: Advances in cell and molecular biology techniques have provided invaluable tools to begin investigating the cascade of events occurring periodontal regeneration.

CONCLUSION: This report summarizes current understanding of the cellular and molecular aspects of periodontal regeneration and determines the clinical relevance of these findings.
