- Abstract
Periodontitis involves an inflammatory process of bacterial origin, affecting the periodontal tissues. The achievement and maintenance of healthy periodontium is a primary goal of periodontal therapy. Today, Bone replacement grafts are widely used to promote new bone formation and periodontal regeneration in periodontal therapy especially in intrabony defects. Bone, a functional unit of the healthy periodontium is affected in most of the periodontal disorders and can be managed either by mechanically recontouring it or by grafting techniques, which stimulates regeneration where it has been lost. Bone grafting is a dynamic phenomenon. A successful bone graft when applied, it gets incorporated, revascularized and eventually assume the form desired and survives afterwards as a functioning part of the periodontium. Today bone grafts are viewed as biologic structures. Currently, bone grafting is the only therapy for which there is significant histological evidence in humans for true regeneration of periodontium. This review provides overview on changing trends in using bone grafts and its substitutes intended for periodontal reconstruction and regeneration.
