Area of Science:

  • Periodontology and Regenerative Dentistry
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) aims to improve wound healing, reduce complications, and increase patient satisfaction.
  • Application of MIS principles in periodontal plastic surgery, specifically gingival augmentation and root coverage, is gaining traction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the concept of minimal invasiveness in gingival augmentation and root coverage procedures.
  • To critically discuss technical and non-technical factors influencing MIS outcomes.
  • To evaluate the impact of minimized surgical invasiveness on clinical, aesthetic, and patient-related results.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on minimally invasive techniques in periodontal plastic surgery.
  • Critical analysis of influencing factors (technical and non-technical).
  • Assessment and evaluation of clinical, aesthetic, and patient-reported outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Minimal invasiveness in periodontal plastic surgery is associated with improved wound healing and reduced morbidity.
  • Technical factors like flap design and suturing techniques are crucial for successful outcomes.
  • Patient-related outcomes, including satisfaction and aesthetic results, are positively influenced by MIS.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive approaches in gingival augmentation and root coverage offer significant advantages.
  • Careful consideration of surgical technique and patient factors is essential for optimal results.
  • MIS in periodontal plastic surgery holds promise for enhancing clinical efficacy and patient experience.
