Abstract

Microsurgery is a discipline of multiple surgical procedures performed with optical magnification and illumination. The operating microscope has recently been introduced in dentistry. Magnification improves the performance of fixed prosthodontic laboratory and clinical procedures. The operating microscope has dramatically improved endodontic nonsurgical perforation repair and periradicular surgery. The use of the operating microscope and microsurgical instrumentation has resulted in more-precise periodontal surgical procedures with less operative trauma and improved healing. Use of the operating microscope and microsurgical instrumentation is described.
