Delivery approaches for periodontal bioengineering. Ex vivo gene therapy involves the harvesting of tissue biopsies, expansion of cell populations, genetic manipulations of cells, and subsequent transplantation to periodontal osseous defects (A), while the in vivo gene transfer approach involves the direct delivery of growth factor transgenes to the periodontal osseous defects (B).
