Abstract
Periodontal therapy eliminates inflammatory process, arrests disease progression and ultimately regenerates
lost periodontal structures. Periodontium consists of four different tissues with different healing abilities. Full
regeneration of the periodontium following different periodontal treatment has been difficult to achieve. Bone graft acts
as scaffold and GTR membrane enables cell exclusion separating the flap from the fibrin clot and guards the space for the
new alveolar bone and the periodontal ligament regeneration. Thus bone graft along with GTR membrane enhances
desired periodontal tissue regeneration. This case report describes the management of different osseous defects with the
help of surgical periodontal therapy using bone graft and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane. Radiographic
evidence of alveolar bone gain with restored health and function were observed in these clinical cases.
