development. It has shown considerable promise in difficult
situations, including the treatment of furcation-involved teeth. This
well-illustrated, easy-to-read text explains the concepts and
mechanism of action of this advanced treatment approach and
demonstrates the surgical techniques and method of application that
will optimize its success potential. Clinical and radiographic
evidence of regeneration of cementum, alveolar bone, and the
periodontal ligament is provided with case studies.
