Periodontology — Key differences for NEET MDS
GTR = guided tissue regeneration = membrane barrier. Autograft = gold standard bone graft = osteogenic. Allograft = same species different individual = DFDBA osteoinductive. Xenograft = different species = Bio-Oss bovine. Alloplast = synthetic = hydroxyapatite tricalcium phosphate. Emdogain = enamel matrix derivative. PRF = platelet rich fibrin = Choukroun. PRP = platelet rich plasma.

Gracey 13/14 = distal posteriors. Ultrasonic scaling better than hand for deep pockets. Piezoelectric vs magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices.
