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> Rituparnna Dhir Jayasheela M Triveni M G Manjunath Nandihalli Shetru Copyright (c) 2022 Dhir R et al https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2022-04-10 2022-04-10 2022 https://mediterraneanjournals.com/index.php/ads/article/view/643 Ashim Gupta Manu Gupta Copyright (c) 2022 Gupta A et al https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2022-03-17 2022-03-17 2022 https://mediterraneanjournals.com/index.php/ads/article/view/594 <p>A detailed multidisciplinary approach for the management of a patient with a mandibular defect caused by an ameloblastoma through the use of three fibula flap blocks and a fixed screw-retained implant supported prosthesis will be discussed.
