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.</p> 2022-04-10T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Dhir R et al https://mediterraneanjournals.com/index.php/ads/article/view/643 Dental Anxiety Associated with Visiting Dental Clinics before and after Getting COVID-19 Vaccine 2022-02-28T14:12:05+00:00 Ashim Gupta ashim6786@gmail.com Manu Gupta manu6771@yahoo.co.in 2022-03-17T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Gupta A et al
