Abstract

Periodontitis is one of the most common diseases in humans, affecting in its most severe form, approximately 10-15% of the population. To date the treatment of alveolus defects relies on the use of autologous bone grafts, which however carries along several limitations and donor site complication risks. Bilayered scaffolds have been proposed as a viable alternative to autologous bone in the regeneration of the periodontium. The techniques used for the construction of the scaffolds as well as their potential in regenerating periodontal tissues in vitro and in vivo are discussed in this chapter.
