MeSH definition : Techniques for enhancing and directing cell growth to repopulate specific parts of
the PERIODONTIUM that have been damaged by PERIODONTAL DISEASES; TOOTH DISEASES; or
TRAUMA, or to correct TOOTH ABNORMALITIES. Repopulation and repair is achieved by
guiding the progenitor cells to reproduce in the desired location by blocking contact
with surrounding tissue by use of membranes composed of synthetic or natural material
that may include growth inducing factors as well.;
