Periodontitis

Hello! I just had a quick clinical question which has been in the back of my mind while treating patients in dental school. Several of my patients with periodontitis asked me this question: "Can you not use bone graft to grow my bone and gum back?", and in fact I was curious about this too. What can and cannot bone grafts do? What are its limitations? Thank you!
