Periodontal Microsurgery: An Evolution in the Progression

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to provide a review of the challenges that are often faced in conventional
surgery and how magnification has become an integral part of modern dentistry. The objective is to incorporate
magnification for a minimally invasive periodontal microsurgery. This procedure requires clinical expertise
and training. Different procedures ranging from GTR, crown-lengthening and root coverage to implantology
and many diagnostic procedures are aided by periodontal microsurgery. In this challenging new era of
technology, it claims to give more predictable therapeutic results with rapid healing and also improved
cosmetic results whereas in other hands conventional surgery provides less visual acuity,delay in healing
along with ergonomic problems.
