    Abstract:
    A multitude of new procedures and materials are being tested for their ability to promote periodontal wound healing. This review provides an overview of the most well-accepted methods for evaluating periodontal wound healing procedures/materials. Topics discussed include appropriate patient selection, general principles in non-surgical and surgical therapy as they relate to wound healing trials, clinical soft and hard tissue measurements which are generally obtained, an overview of radiographic assessments, and a discussion of the methods and role of histological evaluations in clinical trials. The advantages and disadvantages of the various methodologies are presented. The review concludes with the potential endpoints which can be used in periodontal wound healing studies.
