【 摘 要 】

In the last decades, Guide Tissue Regeneration (GTR) technique has been applied for the treatment of various periodontal defects suchas intrabony defects, furcation involvements and localized gingival recession defects. From early days of using membranes with thesimple aim of minimizing toxic response in the host, membranes have come a long way. Third generation membranes not only act asbarriers but also as delivery devices to release specific agents. Many clinical trials have focused on using membranes as delivery devicesfor antibiotics and growth factors. In this article we take a brief look at the evolution of barrier membranes and future avenues with regardto third generation membranes.
