Modern methods and technology in periodontal treatment: a review article

Periodontal treatment has evolved significantly due to technological advancements and novel methodologies. Between 2020 and 2024, integrating digital technologies, therapeutic innovations, and advanced treatment modalities has transformed clinical practice, improving patient outcomes. This review examines recent developments in periodontal care, focusing on advanced methodologies such as laser therapy, guided tissue regeneration (GTR), and digital imaging. Key technologies analyzed include antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM), and 3D bioprinting. The integration of these technologies has enhanced the diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic capabilities of practitioners. Additionally, biomaterials and tissue engineering have shown promise in regenerative periodontal therapy, supporting natural healing and minimizing invasive surgical interventions. Modern advancements in periodontal treatment have improved clinical efficacy and patient care. This review highlights the evolution of periodontal techniques, assessing their benefits and limitations in contemporary practice.
