The Attributes of Microsurgery in Periodontics

This book gives the reader a thorough knowledge about the periodontal microsurgery or the minimally invasive periodontal surgeries (MIPS). MIPS technique allows for minimization of soft tissue trauma and the removal of granulation tissue from periodontal defects using a much smaller surgical incision than that used in standard bone graft technique. It involves treatment options which cure the disease with reduced postoperative pain improved healing and better patient acceptance. Periodontal microsurgical techniques were introduced and studied using operating microscopes and microsurgical instruments to enhance magnification and visual acuity with reduced surgical trauma producing minimal wounds minimal flap reflection for better post-surgical healing.
