Abstract
Periodontal healing is a complex process requiring coordinated responses involving gingival epithelium and connective tissue, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone. The understanding of this process is necessary to visualize the outcome of different periodontal procedures which inhibits the further progression of periodontal disease and restore the lost periodontal structures. The periodontal regeneration is the ideal response for long-term success of the tooth. The newer approach to periodontal regeneration involves the use of biological mediators like attachment proteins, enamel matrix proteins, growth factors and bone morphogenetic proteins which enhances the regenerative potential of the host tissues by providing favourable signals for proliferation and migration of the periodontal ligament cells towards the affected root surface. Keywords: wound healing; regeneration; reattachment; inflammation; granulation; growth factors.
