The start of periodontal wound healing is the aim of periodontal therapy. There are two ways of periodontal healing: regeneration and reparation. Regeneration is defined as the reconstruction of the lost or injured tissues in such a way that their morphology and function are completely restored. In the regeneration of periodontal tissue structural restoration occurs of the gingiva, connective tissue attachment, epithelium junction, root cementum and alveolar bone. Such processes can begin after advanced surgical regenerative periodontal therapy. Nonsurgical treatment leads only to reparation of the tissue without restoration of tooth attachment with the formation of a long junctional epithelium. The easiest and most achievable method for every clinician is to evaluate signs of periodontal inflammation during a periodontal examination. This study aims to present the methods of clinical, radiographic, histological and cytological examination in the assessment of periodontal tissue healing after periodontal therapy. To ensure an effective therapy it is necessary for the clinician to have a good understanding of healing processes after different methods of treatment.

Key words: periodontal diseases, periodontal indices, periodontal tissue healing, exfoliative cytology.
