PERIODONTAL MICROSURGERY:EVOLUTION IN PROGRESSION OF PERIODONTICS.

Abstract :

To attain success an amalgamation of operator dexterity with a minimally traumatic approach and enhanced visual perception are mandatory. 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. The purpose of this article is to introduce the history of microsurgery in the surgical disciplines.It reviews the benefits and potential applications of magnification and microsurgery in the specialty of periodontics.Periodontal microsurgery is the refinement of basic surgical techniques made possible by the improved visual acuity gained with the use of surgical microscope. In the hands of a trained and experienced clinician, microsurgery offers enhanced outcomes not possible with traditional macrosurgery, especially in terms of passive wound closure and reduced tissue trauma.The effect of periodontal microsurgery may include more predictable therapeutic results, less invasive procedure with reduced patient discomfort, more rapid healing, improved cosmetic results and greater patient acceptance. The improved visual acuity of microsurgery provides significant advantages to those who take the time to become proficient in microsurgical principles and procedures. Microsurgery is not a separate field as such but only a modus operandi applicable to any surgical field in health sciences.
