| Summary: | In the last decades, Guide Tissue Regeneration (GTR) technique has been applied for the treatment of various periodontal defects such
as intrabony defects, furcation involvements and localized gingival recession defects. From early days of using membranes with the
simple aim of minimizing toxic response in the host, membranes have come a long way. Third generation membranes not only act as
barriers but also as delivery devices to release specific agents. Many clinical trials have focused on using membranes as delivery devices
for antibiotics and growth factors. In this article we take a brief look at the evolution of barrier membranes and future avenues with regard
to third generation membranes. |
