Periodontitis is a condition that affects the supporting structures of a tooth, such as the gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Periodontitis is widespread in the American population, although most of the cases are mild to moderate in severity and are treatable by minimally invasive procedures. Intra-bony defects, which develop as manifestation of some periodontal diseases, are treated by regenerative therapy with bone grafts that initiate or facilitate the growth of new bone. Bone grafting involves placing a type of bone taken from the patient or placing a synthetic material into the periodontal defect. Other approaches involve the use of barriers in absorbable and/or non-absorbable forms. The bone graft aids in the regeneration of damaged or lost periodontal structures. Different types of bone grafts are used in periodontal therapy and are substantially effective in initiating bone regeneration. Moreover, different types of biologic materials can be used in periodontal regeneration. This review highlights some novel approaches and techniques that can be used in guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The aim of this narrative overview is discussing the various types of bone grafts, particle sizes, biologic materials, and their use in periodontal regeneration.
