Abstract : Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) and microsurgery have significantly transformed periodontal treatment by reducing tissue trauma and improving patient outcomes. MIS focuses on minimizing flap reflection and tissue manipulation, preserving blood supply, and ensuring the stability of blood clots at the wound site, which collectively reduce postoperative complications such as shrinkage and discomfort. Microsurgery, enabled by advancements in surgical microscopes, enhances visual acuity and allows for precise surgical interventions. In periodontology, the integration of MIS and microsurgery has led to refined surgical techniques that prioritize minimal tissue disruption, passive wound closure, and the use of specialized microsurgical instruments. These approaches offer significant advantages over conventional flap surgeries, which were often associated with extensive tissue damage, prolonged healing times, and aesthetic compromises. The evolution of MIS in periodontology represents a shift from resection-based procedures to those focused on regeneration, emphasizing the importance of skill enhancement and the adoption of advanced technologies. As MIS techniques continue to develop, they hold the potential to become the standard of care, providing patients with effective, less invasive treatment options that result in better clinical and aesthetic outcomes. The current article's goal was to gather and record different minimally invasive periodontology techniques. Peer-reviewed materials from journals, Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, and other reviews served as the foundation for the research.
