The minimally invasive philosophy underpinning periodontal and peri-implant microsurgery respects biologic principles, preserves healthy tissues, enhances patient well-being, and maximizes soft tissue esthetics. Distributed into nine carefully sequenced chapters, this book first presents the minimally invasive philosophy before demonstrating the protocols necessary for the development of new skills for the surgeon, walking the reader through each phase of learning and practice required to advance to the next. Once this training is complete, the book reviews the basics of ergonomics, magnification, and subepithelial connective tissue grafting before moving on to the hallmark chapter on microsurgical techniques. This chapter comprises half the book and systemically presents each microsurgical technique, illustrating it step by step and then showcasing its use in multiple clinical case examples. Digital planning and suturing are emphasized, as well as esthetic microsurgery and the correlation of these techniques with implantology. The authors'end goal is to equip clinicians to perform increasingly conservative, biologic, and predictable procedures with the greatest precision possible.

Despite decades of well-established nonsurgical and surgical protocols and techniques, the treatment of deep intraosseous lesions still represents a challenge for clinicians. Therefore, the purpose of this textbook is to present simplified procedures that can be used to treat even the most difficult clinical scenarios. Both surgical and nonsurgical regenerative treatment options are presented and discussed in great detail, including types of instruments and regenerative materials to use, patient and defect evaluation, and step-by-stop protocols for various evidence-based procedures. Detailed clinical photographs and radiographs accompany each discussion to demonstrate the ideal initial situation for each method and the impressive results that can be achieved by following it, and many of the surgical sections also feature video content of procedures on real patients. A significant portion of the book is devoted to the single-flap approach, a technique developed and refined by the authors over many years to simplify surgical treatment while providing the best results for the patient. Both students and experienced professionals will find this atlas a welcome reference when encountering periodontally involved teeth.

Der Begriff'Paro-Endo-Läsion'bezeichnet ein Krankheitsbild, bei dem sich Läsionen unterschiedlicher Ätiologie (endodontisch oder parodontal) mit sehr ähnlichen Symptomen manifestieren. Von entscheidender Bedeutung für eine erfolgreiche Behandlung ist deshalb die Differenzialdiagnostik und eindeutige Abklärung der Ätiologie. Angetrieben von einer grundlegenden Unzufriedenheit mit dem unklaren und missverständlichen Begriff der'Paro-Endo-Läsion'entwirft Edoardo Foce eine umfassende Darstellung des Krankheitsbildes, führt eine präzisere Terminologie ein und schlägt eine neue Klassifikation der Läsionen vor. Die vorgestellten Überlegungen und diagnostischen Techniken gestatten eine sichere Diagnose und erfolgreiche Therapie dieser anspruchsvollen Erkrankung, wie an mehr als 20 klinischen Beispielfällen eindrucksvoll vor Augen geführt wird. Die gesamte Darstellung ist mit einer großen Zahl sehr hochwertiger Abbildungen en détail illustriert.

The long-term success of periodontal therapy is dependent on proper diagnosis and removal of subgingival tooth-borne accretions in the form of calculus and bacteria. From a clinical perspective, better visualization during the diagnostic and therapeutic phases has been shown to yield better results compared to traditional approaches.Minimally Invasive Periodontal Therapy evaluates the advantages of using minimal invasive techniques, the technologies available for enhancing visualization during minimally invasive therapy, and step-by-step illustrates the clinical use of each technique. Each chapter addresses the advantages and disadvantages of minimally invasive therapies, rationale for the approach, and the advantages and limitations of each of the current methods of improving visualization. The chapters then provide an evidence-based review of the technologies and procedures, and end with case studies for each visualization procedure, featuring clinical photographs.
