Abstract
Basically all forms of periodontal therapy consist of the removal of degenerated tissue debris and the replacement of the tissue destroyed by disease. Whether it is possible for the supporting structures of the teeth to become regenerated and reattached once they have been lost or severed during the course of inflammatory periodontal disease is still a most asked question.
G.V. Black, 1915; Orban, 1943; and Kronfeld, 1933 stated that re-attachment has not been demonstrated and believed that the detachment of the periodontal membrane from the cementum of the root is permanent. They believed that reattachment is impossible. For others it is clinically improbable (James 1933, Sternlicht 1961, Holmes 1968).
