Introduction Periodontitis is a group of infammatory diseases affecting the supporting structures of the tooth, i.e., is a serious infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the underlying bone that sup- ports the teeth. It is caused by a large group of microorganisms that adhere frmly to and grow on the tooth’s surfaces, along with an aggressive cascade of immune response against these causative microorganisms [23, 24, 34, 64]. It results ultimately in the loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to abnormal loosening and subsequent loss of all affected teeth [2, 15]. Periodontitis can cause pathological loss of the tooth and various other systemic complications such as heart attack, stroke or even infective endocarditis. It is also aggravated and seen in association with various systemic complications like diabetes mel- litus [45, 49, 50] etc. In light of various recent breakthroughs in treatment planning and execution, for extensive and comprehen- sive treatment for periodontitis there are various approaches [21, 39, 49, 50, 52, 53, 62]. Periodontal therapy is aimed at arresting the progression of disease by controlling the infection, and re- generating the lost attachment apparatus of the tooth. The use of bone grafts and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) are among the techniques widely used to reach this therapeutic endpoint [47, 54]. Numerous studies have reported successful clinical results when employing collagen membranes for GTR therapy [7]. The ration- ale for selecting collagen as a barrier membrane was based on the fact that type-1 collagen is the main constituent of periodon- tal connective tissue. In addition, collagen materials also exhibit chemotactic function for fbroblasts, hemostatic property, weak immunogenicity and osteoblast adhesion activity. However, it is critical in GTR that the space under- neath the barrier is main- Abstract The aim of the present study is to assess the prevalence of GTR and GTR with bone graft procedures for periodontal therapy at Saveetha Dental College. Retrospective data of 28 patients was obtained and segregated. The inclusion criteria included 21- 65 years age group, patients who underwent frenectomy/frenotomy and visited between June 2019 to April 2020. Once the data was obtained it was statistically analyzed using SPSS by IBM version 20. In the present study out of the 28 patients that were assessed males were 64.3% and females were 35.7%. The patients were within the age group of 21-65 years with a mean age of 39.75 plus or minus 12.04 years. Maximum numbers of Regenerative Procedures are done in the ages of 38, 39 and 47 years each with 10.7% of the study population. Out of the total 28 Regenerative Procedures, a procedure using guided tissue regeneration alone constitutes about 39.3% whereas 60.7% of the regenerative Procedures were performed along with bone graft as an adjunct to guided tissue repair. Chi Square Test was performed between the different variables but there was no as- sociation. Although traditional non-surgical and surgical periodontal therapy can be predictably used to arrest the progression of the disease and in the treatment of mild defects, it might be inadequate for the treatment of moderate and severe defects.
