Description:
When maximum precision is required in performing surgery to satisfy particular esthetic demands, a surgical microscope may represent a useful tool. Normally we will use the Probing Pocket Depth or attachment gain as as success criteria. With a special procedure well known from ophthalmology called Fluorescence Angiography we are able to show the healing results direct past surgery and within the first days post OP. So we could optimise the material and handling of the tissue by visualising the blood flow depending on different techniques, suture materials and regenerative materials and procedures.
The application of magnification in periodontal surgery accomplished better results in terms of success and predictability compared to conventional techniques.
