BACKGROUND The ideal healing technique for periodontal tissue defects would involve the functional regeneration of the alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament, with new periodontal attachment formation. In this study, gingival fibroblasts were induced and a "sandwich" tissue-engineered complex (a tissue-engineered periodontal membrane between 2 tissue-engineered mineralized membranes)...

Periodontal disease (POD) is characterized by infection and chronic inflammation. This condition starts with the presence of bacteria in the gingival sulcus (e.g. Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus oralis, Actinomyces odontolyticus, Fusobacterium nucleatum) followed by a chronic inflammation process affecting the periodontal pocket apically and leading to the destruction of the tooth-supporti...
