True or false: Pocket reduction surgery can utilize both resective and regenerative techniques.

Pocket reduction surgery indeed can utilize both resective and regenerative techniques. This type of surgery aims to reduce the depth of periodontal pockets, which are spaces that form between the teeth and gums due to periodontal disease.

Resective techniques involve the removal of some periodontal tissue or the reshaping of the bone and soft tissue surrounding the teeth to reduce pocket depth and improve the periodontal architecture. These techniques might include procedures like gingivectomy or osteoplasty.

On the other hand, regenerative techniques aim to restore lost periodontal structures, including the attachment of the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. This may involve the application of grafts or barrier membranes, promoting the body's natural healing processes to regenerate the lost tissues.

In practice, a combination of both types of techniques may be necessary depending on the individual case, the severity of the periodontal disease, and the specific goals of treatment. Therefore, the assertion that pocket reduction surgery can incorporate both resective and regenerative approaches is accurate.
