With the advancement in the field of periodontology various techniques have been evolved to minimize the post-operative discomfort and morbidity occurring after periodontal surgical procedures. Periodontal diseases are a heterogeneous group of diseases, which are multifactorial and are characterized by inflammation and the subsequent destruction of the tooth supporting structures. Conventional periodontal regenerative procedures involved reflection of large periodontal flaps for access to achieve improved clinical outcomes of periodontally compromised teeth. However, minimally invasive surgical techniques utilizes magnification devices to advanced surgical instruments and modified procedures, to make the surgical procedures effortless and causing minimal soft tissue trauma thus, proving to be advantageous over the conventional therapy. This article reviews various minimally invasive procedures and highlights the advantages of minimally invasive surgical and non-surgical therapy.
