Root Biomodification

ABSTRACT

Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of tooth supporting tissues. Repair and regeneration remains a major goal of periodontal treatment. Critical events in periodontal regeneration involves cementogenesis and the attachment of new connective tissue to the root surface varying results from clinical and histological studies have created controversies about the clinical effectiveness of root surface decalcification. The current review focuses on the insight into the present scenario of root biomodification in clinical conditions along with a overview of related studies
