Abstract
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.
