Abstract

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of multifactorial origin represents with destruction of periodontium due to upregulation of immune response and in the presence of disease causing pathogens resulting in loss of attachment and bone loss. William Hoisington has developed a new technique (TIP technique) for the treatment of periodontal disease without invasive procedure. The human body has the capacity of healing and repair by itself after any injury. TIP technique predicts the same phenomenon in periodontal diseases healing and repair. TIP therapy works by influencing the disease etiological factors and aiding healing by 3 immune phases. Immune phases are: vigilant readiness, defense phase, repair and regeneration. TIP technique plays a role in altering the pathogenesis and disease progression by changing the defensive phase against bacteria and other microorganisms into a regeneration phase to achieve a new attachment. TIP periodontal therapy methods are: Bone One Session Treatment, Controlling occlusal Forces, Oral Hygiene reinforcement with adjuvant modalities, Life Style modification, enhancing nutrition and Exercise. To conclude that a non invasive technique (TIP) can alter the pathogenesis by removing the etiological factors as well as guide the tissue for regeneration and new attachment.
