HEALING OF PERIODONTAL WOUNDS - A REVIEW

Abstract

A number of periodontal treatments have been used to regenerate periodontal tissues since periodontal disease is a serious public health concern. Most periodontal operations include invasive techniques such as excision of the gingiva or alveolar bone. The periodontium is a complex system made up of specialised tissues that support the teeth. The healing process of periodontal disease is nearly scar-free, and it differs somewhat from cutaneous wound healing. It also resembles foetal recovery. This review article provides a general overview of periodontal wound healing.
