Microsurgery in Periodontal and Implant Dentistry [electronic resource] : Concepts and Applications / edited by Hsun-Liang (Albert) Chan, Diego Velasquez-Plata.

Introduction to Microsurgery -- Fundamentals of Operating Microscope -- Minimally Invasive Wound Healing Through Microsurgeries -- Designs and Requirements of Micro-Instruments -- Biological and Mechanical Considerations of Suturing Materials and Techniques -- Practical Considerations in Incorporating Microsurgery to Daily Workflow -- Magnified Periodontal Non-Surgical Therapy -- Microscope-Assisted Periodontal-Peri Implant Plastic Surgery -- Microscope-Assisted Periodontal Regenerative Surgery -- Microscope-Assisted Maxillary Sinus Augmentation -- Microscope-Assisted Ridge Augmentation -- Immediate Implant Placement in the Anterior Area-SMILE Technique -- Microscope-Assisted Implant Complication Management.

This book compiles all relevant information regarding fundamental concepts and advanced techniques related to the applications of minimally invasive procedures in periodontal and implant therapy facilitated with the operating microscope. Microsurgical therapy, wound healing principles as well as biomechanical and design aspects of micro-instruments and suturing armamentarium are discussed. The book offers information that is usually scattered in the dental and medical literature and not only hard to compile but also to frame in the appropriate clinical categories. Its unique emphasis on ergonomics (patient, operator and assistant positioning) and collaboration techniques like four to six hand assisting make this work unique. Each topic is discussed by world renowned experts in the field. The book is a valuable resource for the dental society including general dentists, periodontists, oral surgeons and implantologists.
