Periodontal Microsurgery and Microsurgical Instrumentation: A Review

Abstract

Increasing surgical refinement of procedures to meet both biologic and esthetic demands of patients is seen in today's periodontal practice. For these new technologies, instruments, and surgical techniques are necessary. Technical skills of the clinician are challenged by the limit of range of visual acuity. Periodontal microsurgery improves the outcome of basic periodontal surgical procedures by enhancing normal vision through magnification along with favorable lighting system. It gives enhanced outcomes not possible with traditional macrosurgery in terms of passive wound closure and reduced tissue trauma. The purpose of this review is to provide brief knowledge of periodontal microsurgery: the role of magnification, microsurgical instrumentation and applications of microsurgery.

“…Microsurgery enhances our surgical skills and improves the overall results. The main advantages are: a small surgical site, minimal tissue trauma and a better surgical outcome [8]. Major principles of microsurgery include improvement of motor skills, an emphasis on passive wound closure with exact primary apposition of the wound edge and the application of microsurgical instrumentation and suturing to reduce tissue trauma.…”
