Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is for patients who have lost bone in their jaw due to gum disease, tooth loss, trauma, or infection and need to rebuild that bone to support dental implants or restore facial structure.
During this delicate procedure, our skilled periodontists use advanced biocompatible barrier membranes and precisely placed bone graft materials to augment the bone volume and encourage new bone growth.
By creating a protected environment that allows for the selective regeneration of bone, GBR helps enhance the stability and longevity of dental implants, ensures long-term health of the jaw and improves overall oral health.
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a sophisticated surgical technique that aims to restore lost or damaged periodontal tissues, including bone and gum tissue, due to periodontal disease or trauma. Aimed at patients who want to save their natural teeth, it is ideal for those with deep gum pockets or bone defects around teeth where the supporting structures have been damaged.
During this procedure, our skilled periodontists use a barrier membrane to cover the affected area, creating a protected environment that allows for the selective regeneration of bone and soft tissues. By promoting the growth of new bone and periodontal ligament, GTR helps to stabilize teeth affected by periodontal disease.
This focus on periodontal health and tissue preservation means patients receive care that not only restores bone and gum support, but also enhances overall oral biology.
Enamel matrix proteins are natural proteins that play a key role in the development and regeneration of tooth-supporting tissues, especially the periodontium – the structures that hold teeth in place.
Clinically, enamel matrix proteins are applied as a gel during periodontal surgery to promote tissue regeneration, reduce pocket depth and improve attachment around teeth, essentially helping patients regain a healthier, stronger foundation for their teeth.
Often used in dentistry procedures, these proteins stimulate the body’s natural healing process, helping to regrow bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament around teeth affected by gum disease.
