Abstract

Periodontal microsurgery is an advance in the field of periodontal surgical procedures. It has been described as the methodology where there is modification and refinement of the existing surgical procedure with the use of magnification to improve visualization and has implications and applicability to all specialties. The criteria for the success of the treatments performed to improve esthetics may be different compared to the surgical procedures where the main goal is to improve periodontal health and restore the function. Therefore, the use of the surgical microscope in periodontal surgery is less documented with only few studies addressing the advantages of the application of magnification to periodontal surgery. The resource for the article was obtained through search in the web with the inclusion of case reports and comparative studies. This article presents an overview of magnifying tools available and their applications in periodontics.
