Periodontal Microsurgery.

ABSTRACT

Over the past decade, the field of periodontics has seen increasing surgical refinement of many procedures. Consistent successful periodontal treatment procedures demand clinical expertise that challenges the technical skills of periodontists to the limit of and beyond the range of visual acuity. Periodontal microsurgery is the refinement of basic surgical techniques made possible by the improved visual acuity gained with the use of surgical microscope. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review of periodontal microsurgery, the role of magnification systems and the advantages of microsurgery over conventional surgery..
