Guided Tissue Regeneration Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is an advanced periodontal procedure that helps restore the natural structures supporting your teeth. At Martin Periodontics, we use GTR to help patients across Mason, Middletown, Fairfield, and Oxford, OH rebuild lost bone and gum tissue caused by periodontal disease or trauma.This proven technique improves the chances of saving natural teeth and promotes long-term oral health by stimulating the regrowth of bone and connective tissue. What Is Guided Tissue Regeneration?Guided tissue regeneration is a surgical technique used to encourage the regrowth of bone and periodontal ligament around teeth that have lost support due to advanced gum disease. It involves placing a specialized membrane between the gum tissue and bone to prevent soft tissue from invading the healing space. This allows the slower-growing bone and ligament cells to regenerate properly. GTR is often performed in conjunction with bone grafting to enhance the outcome. This dual approach gives the body the structure and time it needs to rebuild natural support systems for your teeth. Benefits of Guided Tissue RegenerationPatients who undergo GTR treatment at our periodontal offices in Mason, Middletown, Fairfield, and Oxford benefit from both clinical and aesthetic improvements.
This regenerative treatment offers a proactive solution to slow or reverse the progression of periodontal disease. Who Is a Candidate for GTR?Our dental team may recommend guided tissue regeneration if you’re dealing with moderate to severe bone loss due to periodontal disease or injury.
During your consultation, we will evaluate your gum health, bone density, and overall oral condition to determine if GTR is the right approach. What to Expect During the ProcedureGuided tissue regeneration surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and may include sedation for comfort. After cleaning out infected tissue and bacteria, our periodontist places a biocompatible membrane over the affected area. This membrane acts as a barrier, allowing bone cells the time and space needed to regenerate. In many cases, a bone graft material is placed beneath the membrane to enhance regeneration. The gum tissue is then carefully repositioned and sutured to protect the surgical site during healing.
Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for a few days, managed with medication and at-home care.
