Periodontal materials and cell biology for guided tissue and bone regeneration

Ann Anat. 2018 Mar:216:164-169. doi: 10.1016/j.aanat.2017.11.007. Epub 2017 Dec 28.

Abstract

The present review is intended to find links between periodontal materials of the dentomaxillary apparatus and cell biology at the beginning of a century fraught with various forms of periodontal diseases and needing new treatment strategies. The manuscript has two different parts. The first describes the anatomy of tooth supporting structures, as well as related pathologies. The second part is related to cell and molecular biology in the context of periodontal regeneration.

Keywords: Intercellular signalling peptides and proteins; Osseointegration; Periodontitis; Stem cells.
