Guided Tissue Regeneration in Surgical Endodontic Treatment: Case Report and Literature Review

Treatment strategy for guided tissue regeneration in combined endodontic-periodontal lesions: case report and review.

INTRODUCTION Endodontic-periodontal combined lesion is a clinical dilemma because making a differential diagnosis and deciding a prognosis are difficult. METHODS Twenty-six cases from 14 articles involving the successful management of endodontic-periodontal lesions with concurrent regenerative procedures were reviewed. This article also presents successful treatment of an endodontic-periodont...

Guided bone regeneration: A literature review

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a reconstructive procedure of alveolar ridge using membranes. This procedure is indicated when there is no sufficient bone for implantation, or in the case of optimal implant installation for esthetic or functional needs. GBR can be performed before implant placement, when there is not enough bone for initial stability of implants and less predictable outcomes ...

Guided tissue regeneration membranes for periodontal regeneration--a literature review.

Guided tissue regeneration materials were reviewed in this paper and can be categorized as non-resorbable and bioabsorbable. Both materials have been used extensively in periodontal regeneration with no difference in the clinical outcome. Selection of barrier material depends on resorbability, size of the defect, morphology of the defect, operator preference and patient acceptance.

Effect of guided tissue regeneration on the outcome of surgical endodontic treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION The use of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) techniques has been proposed as an adjunct to endodontic surgery in order to promote bone healing. Studies assessing the added benefits of GTR for the outcome of endodontic surgery are significantly variable in their treatment protocols, follow-up periods, and inclusion criteria, thus generating inconsistent and confusing results. The aim...
