Hegedus' work is where the practice of bone grafts first emerged (1923). He reported six successful cases for treating "advanced pyorrhea" with autogenous bone by using tibia. Following the publication of this paper, the evaluation of various forms of xenografts took centre stage for the following few decades. Significant advancements have been made in rebuilding difficult periodontal and alveolar bone lesions caused by disease or trauma over the past ten years. modifications to the matrices that support cells. The development of biomaterials that can interact with the matrix, cells, and bioactive molecules has been successful using protein and gene delivery. By employing aspects that support cell replication, differentiation, matrix formation, and angiogenesis, it has been possible to send signaling molecules or growth factors via proteins or genes to the components of periodontal tissue. The management of the challenging periodontal wound will continue to significantly rely on multidisciplinary techniques combining engineering, density, medical, and infectious disease skills. This article reviews the various options for ridge augmentation along with surgical procedures.
