“…Currently, the successful application of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) with most predictable clinical results is limited to certain defect morphology (e.g., two and three‐wall intrabony defects, class II mandibular furcations), patient’s characteristics (good oral hygiene, nonsmokers) and surgeons’ experience (skills, decision‐making) (Villar & Cochran, ). The concept of endogenous cell recruitment can be considered as very suitable and appealing for this purpose, particularly, in view of modifying the early phase of wound healing, which has been proposed to be the main target of future periodontal regenerative technique (Dickinson et al., ; Susin & Wikesjo, ). Increasing evidence in the field of regenerative medicine suggests that cell recruitment stimulates latent self‐repair mechanisms in patients and harnesses the innate capacity for tissue regeneration (Chen, Wu, Zhang, Zhang, & Sun, ).…”
