Home care maintains the result, but it can't replace professional diagnosis and hygiene under anaesthesia.
It uses the pet's own blood to prepare a material that supports tissue healing after periodontal treatment. The material is prepared during the procedure itself.
GTR is considered for localised bone defects around the teeth, when X-rays and clinical examination show a regenerative approach is viable. The decision is made on a case-by-case basis.
