“…High magnification in surgical microscope gives advantages to treat regenerative [35,42,43,46] and periodontal plastic surgery [23,33,34,49,50] and implant therapy [43,51] successfully over conventional surgery. Clinicians can perform precise work using microsurgical instruments, probably due to fine and sharp blades that extend hard-to-reach areas [31,38,47]. Also, flaps can be elevated atraumatically as the margins of the flap are sharp.…”

The surgical operating microscope increases illumination and visual acuity for the periodontist to perform clinical procedures with improved precision over conventional surgeries. Presently, using a surgical microscope gives an impression of being the best option which helps in better diagnostic ability and treatment quality. This review highlights the basics of periodontal plastic surgery, including the role of magnification and microsurgical instruments, knot tying, clinical applications, and microsurgical effects on aesthetics. This mini-literature review infers that improved visual acuity of microsurgery provides significant advantages of less patient discomfort, rapid healing, improved esthetics, and patient compliance. Periodontal microsurgery combined with minimally invasive surgical techniques benefits the ability of a clinician's precision in manipulating the tissues, thereby offering the simplest and the best probable outcome.

Objective:To evaluate whether microsurgery gains better result in root coverage compared to conventional surgical techniques.Methods:A number of databases were searched to identify eligible studies from January 1992 to January 2015.The following outcomes were evaluated:number of sites exhibiting complete root coverage and patients’ esthetic satisfaction.Results:Four Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A pooled estimate from the two RCTs regarding sub-epithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG) showed significant achievement in complete root coverage in the microsurgical group [relative risk (RR):1.63; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12 to 2.36; P=0.01] with acceptable heterogeneity. The other two studies were about coronal advanced flap (CAF) with enamel matrix derivative or free rotated papilla autograft and did not qualify for meta-analysis. Patients’ esthetic satisfaction was analyzed only by one study.Conclusions:Using microsurgical technique for treating gingival recessions may be effective in achieving complete root coverage for SCTG.
