Implications of cellular and molecular biology advances in periodontal regeneration

摘要: Background The mechanisms by which new periodontium is established on root surfaces previously exposed to periodontal disease has been an area of active research interest for the past decade. Methods Recently, histological examination regeneration revealed a complex process orchestrated temporo-spatial specific cell-matrix interactions. Results Advances in cell and molecular biology techniques have provided invaluable tools begin investigating cascade events occurring during regeneration. Conclusions This report summarizes current understanding cellular aspects determines clinical relevance these findings. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
