Evaluation of effectiveness of subepithelial connective tissue graft in combination with coronally positioned flap in the treatment of isolated gingival recession in esthetic areas by using surgical microscope

Comprehensive review of surgical microscopes: technology development and medical applications

“… 153 Surgical microscopes may represent a useful tool when particular esthetic demands require maximum precision. 474 The use of surgical microscopes in periodontal microsurgery 475 can lead to cleaner incision, closer wound apposition, reduced morbidity, reduced hemorrhage, and less trauma at the surgical site. The magnification reveals the fact that many gentle maneuvers with the naked eye turn out to be gross crushing and tearing of the delicate tissue, 475 , 476 and also adds precision to the repositioning of tissue by allowing smaller needles and sutures.…”

“…Applications of the surgical microscope in periodontal therapy include root surface debridement, 104 implant surgery, 479 minimally invasive periodontal regeneration, 480 and mucogingival surgery. 474 Visual access to the root surface is determinant for the success of periodontal therapy, and it is more efficient under higher magnification for the removal of residual calculus as well as achieving a clean and smooth root surface. 481 In implant therapy, high magnification provided by the microscope can help the implant site development and placement, achieving higher precision.…”

“…It enables excellent visualization and an atraumatic surgical approach in root coverage procedures, which results in satisfying cosmetic outcomes such as better searing and marginal profile. 474 When the procedure is combined with coronal flaps, the microscope also makes the advancement of flaps easier and tension free. 476 , 481 , 487 Bittencourt et al.…”

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) Membrane and Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) Membrane using Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access (VISTA) Approach Technique for the Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recession Defects in Humans – A Study Protocol

“…Root coverage procedures are indicated to correct the areas of localized or generalized soft-tissue recession [2]. The treatment of GR is a common request in daily periodontal practice mostly due to esthetic reasons [3]. Recession defects can be isolated or multiple.…”
