Membrane barriers used in conjunction with periodontal surgery have promoted regeneration of lost marginal attachment. Membrane barriers also may be indicated during surgical endodontics, in selected cases, where primary apical lesions are complicated by the loss of marginal attachment. The indications for using guided tissue regeneration in endodontic surgery are discussed and two cases are presented.
