2. Guided bone and tissue regeneration (dentistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_bone_and_tissue...

   At present, guided bone regeneration is predominantly applied in the oral cavity to support new hard tissue growth on an alveolar ridge to allow stable placement of dental implants. When bone grafting is used in conjunction with sound surgical technique, guided bone regeneration is a reliable and validated procedure.

3. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

   Bone grafts are used in hopes that the defective bone will be healed or will regrow with little to no graft rejection. [19] Besides the main use of bone grafting – dental implants – this procedure is used to fuse joints to prevent movement, repair broken bones that have bone loss, and repair broken bone that has not yet healed. [19]

4. Socket preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_Preservation

   Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction. [1] [2] After tooth extraction, the jaw bone has a natural tendency to become narrow, and lose its original shape because the bone quickly resorbs, resulting in 30–60% loss in bone volume in the first six months. [3]

5. Regenerative endodontics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_endodontics

   Stem/progenitor cells are capable of differentiating into odontoblasts, pulp fibroblasts and other niche cells in dental pulp and dentin regeneration. To ensure the success of dental pulp and dentin regeneration in the adult, exogenously delivered and/or endogenous growth factors must induce the sprouting of neural fibrils and endothelial cells ...

6. Barrier membrane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_membrane

   The first membranes developed were nonresorbable and required a second surgery for membrane removal some weeks later. The need for a second surgical procedure hindered the utilization of the original barrier membranes, which led to the development of resorbable membranes; [1] research indicates no statistically significant difference in surgical success between the two types.

7. Laser-assisted new attachment procedure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser-assisted_new...

   Laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) is a surgical therapy for the treatment of periodontitis, intended to work through regeneration rather than resection. This therapy and the laser used to perform it have been in use since 1994. [citation needed] It was developed by Robert H. Gregg II [1] [2] and Delwin McCarthy.
