Principles and Practice of Periodontal Microsurgery
نویسنده
چکیده
Periodontal microsurgery is the refinement of basic surgical techniques made possible by the improved visual acuity gained with the use of the 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. This paper aims to briefly review the basics of periodontal microsurgery, including the role and instruments of magnification, hand positions, knot trying, clinical applications, and microsurgery’s effect on esthetics. The improved visual acuity of microsurgery provides significant advantages to those who take the time to become proficient in microsurgical principles and procedures.

While ma...
متن کاملPeriodontal microsurgery.
Practitioners of periodontics must have familiarity with the various methods of optical magnification and, ultimately, the surgical microscope, if they are going to refine their basic surgical techniques with improved visual acuity, as other areas of medicine and dentistry are doing. Macroscopic versus microscopic vision determines the degree to which surgeons can handle soft and hard tissue fo...

متن کاملThe application of an enamel matrix protein derivative (Emdogain) in regenerative periodontal therapy: a review.
Regenerative periodontal therapy aims at reconstitution of the lost periodontal structures such as new formation of root cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Findings from basic research indicate that enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) has a key role in periodontal wound healing. Histological results from animal and human studies have shown that treatment with EMD promotes peri...
