Research Corner - Biological principles for success in alveolar bone, soft tissue and periodontal regeneration.

Dr Kitty Guo has kindly prepared this month’s précis of a recently published article.
Biological principles for success in alveolar bone, soft tissue and periodontal regeneration.
This narrative review on periodontal regeneration explores the present and future of regenerative potential and techniques. As well as delivering a comprehensive and detailed account of what is understood about the healing and regeneration processes, the authors use this knowledge to highlight the importance of a thorough understanding of the basic science to support the continued the advancement and implementation of novel strategies. Overall, this review is valuable both to clinicians seeking to enhance their understanding of regenerative processes and the feasibility of emerging approaches, as well as to researchers interested in advancing this field.
