Periodontal microsurgery: Magnification and beyond

Abstract

Background: In clinical dentistry, new heights of precision have taken place with periodontal microsurgery. It enhances visual acuity, improves accessibility with better primary wound closure. Unlike macro surgical procedures, patient acceptance, post operative pain and esthetics were found to be better with the periodontal microsurgery. Microsurgery works on principles like, refinement of motor skills, minimal tissue trauma in order to achieve adequate wound healing. This paper emphasizes widely on the microsurgical concepts used in periodontics.
