The introduction of the microscope started a new era in precise and atraumatic periodontal surgery. Periodontal microsurgery has many advantages:
-Minimal invasive surgical procedures
-Enhanced revascularization

Periodontal surgeries include removal of gummy smile, gingivoplasty, gingivectomy, flap surgery, gingival graft, frenectomy, gingival recontouring, removal of dark gum (gingival) tissue etc.
