Marginal tissue recession (MTR) by definition is an apical shift of gingival margin, which leads to exposure of root surface. Patients affected with MTR often complain of sensitivity to cold on exposed root surfaces apart from esthetic concerns. In this article, a case of multiple Miller's class I MTR who presented with sensitivity to cold in relation to maxillary anterior teeth region was treated using Zucchelli's coronally advanced flap with pericardium membrane under operating microscope. The application of principles of periodontal microsurgery and guided tissue regeneration results in significant root coverage with reduction/elimination of sensitivity. Long-term success of root coverage procedures depends on the removal of etiology and maintenance therapy.

Periodontitis, a widespread inflammatory disease, is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. While mechanical periodontal therapy benefits the periodontal disease treatment, adjunctive periodontal therapy is also necessary. Topically applied anti-inflammatory agents have gained considerable attention in periodontitis therapy.

Purpose: To investigate the application value of periodontal microsurgery in accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO).
Methods: A total of 100 patients with the need of PAOO surgery before orthodontic treatment due to the lack of alveolar bone in the mandibular anterior area were selected and randomly divided into microsurgery group and control group with 50 cases in each group. Preoperative CBCT was used to measure the thickness and height of the alveolar bone as well as the gingival thickness.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of using an operating microscope (OM) versus dental loupes (DL) for alveolar ridge augmentation (ARP) after tooth extraction, focusing on wound healing and bone quality.
- Forty teeth from 33 patients were randomly divided into two groups; one received treatment with OM and the other with DL. Results showed that the OM group had significantly fewer tissue remnants and better healing scores at 2 and 4 weeks post-surgery.
- By the 12-week mark, both groups had similar bone healing and quality results, suggesting the early benefits of OM in reducing tissue remnants did not translate into long-term differences in bone health.
Palatal root endodontic microsurgery in maxillary molars using the palatal approach: a case study.

Background: In clinical practice, the buccal approach is typically the primary choice for endodontic microsurgery. Owing to the thickness of the buccal bone plate, the distance between the buccal bone plate and palatal lesion location, and soft tissue traction, the palatal approach may be more suitable for microsurgery for apical periodontitis of the palatal roots of the maxillary molars. However, the length of the palatal root, location of the greater palatine artery (GPA) and foramen (GPF), and surgical field of observation make palatal surgery challenging.
