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.
