ROOT SURFACE BIOMODIFICATION

Root Surface Biomodification explores the biological principles and clinical applications of modifying diseased or exposed root surfaces to enhance periodontal healing and regeneration. The book provides a comprehensive overview of root surface characteristics, periodontal wound healing, and the rationale behind various biomodification approaches used in regenerative periodontal therapy.It discusses commonly employed agents and techniques, including chemical conditioning with agents such as EDTA, citric acid, and tetracyclines, as well as contemporary approaches involving biologically active materials and regenerative technologies. The mechanisms of action, indications, clinical protocols, advantages, limitations, and current evidence supporting these approaches are presented in a clear and clinically relevant manner.With emphasis on minimally invasive and evidence-based periodontal therapy, this book aims to bridge fundamental biological concepts with practical clinical application. It serves as a useful resource for postgraduate students, periodontal practitioners, and clinicians interested in periodontal regeneration and advanced root surface management.
