PERIODONTAL REGENERATION

In the past, the areas of the jawbone that were eaten away by periodontal disease could not be grown back. In the race between gum and bone to reconnect to the root of the tooth, gum always won and kept the bone from "regenerating". Now there are special materials, chemically similar to your bone and growth factors, which stimulate your bone to grow back. Custom made dissolving barriers are placed around the tooth root, the adjacent bone, and the stimulating material. The gum can cover the area naturally without stopping bone regrowth. This gives the tooth better support than was possible before.
