[Critical look at the use of osseous grafts in the treatment of periodontal disease].

Abstract

Many types of materials are available for the regeneration of the periodontium destroyed by periodontal disease. In view of the fact that there are not many properly structured classical studies relative to the same, one cannot conclude that these materials regenerate bone, the periodontal ligament and the cementum which make up the periodontium. In this article, many classical studies relative to the use of bone grafts are carefully examined and analyzed.
