Abstract

Introduction:
The aim of this paper was to present the excellent results obtained using the principles of minimally invasive surgery in periodontal plastic surgery procedures.
Case Series: This paper will discuss five different procedures: Modified incision design for periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics procedure, papilla reconstruction using the tunnelling approach and connective tissue grafting, pouch and tunnel procedure for adjacent recessions, envelope technique for isolated recession and Liu's Class 1a incision for connective tissue harvesting from the palate. All five techniques resulted in minimal exposure, reduced tissue trauma, minimal postoperative discomfort, better healing and excellent esthetics with perfect tissue color match. Conclusion: The concept of minimally invasive periodontal surgery is especially valid in the field of periodontal plastic surgery resulting in minimal tissue trauma, reduced postoperative discomfort, preservation of the interdental tissues, excellent color match and perfect esthetics. | |
