Abstract

Periodontal regeneration aims to retain teeth while restoring the attachment between the dental and periodontal structures. This goal is highly achievable with the emerging technologies and a deeper understanding of biology, material science, cell function, and molecular regulation of tissue responses. A holistic approach is needed to connect these knowledge under an innovative perspective to accomplish the regeneration of periodontal tissues.
