MICRO-RETRACTION TECHNIQUE AS A PRECISION TREATMENT FOR PERIODONTAL POCKETS USING AN OPERATING MICROSCOPE

Gum retractors, spoon excavators, and explorers are used to secure the view in the periodontal pocket. However, they are inadequate for sustained visualization of the operative field during a procedure. The author devised a technique to open the periodontal pocket using an absorbent paper point.

Zusammenfassung:Gum retractors, spoon excavators, and explorers are used to secure the view in the periodontal pocket. However, they are inadequate for sustained visualization of the operative field during a procedure. The author devised a technique to open the periodontal pocket using an absorbent paper point. This technique is referred to as micro-retraction. It is performed under a microscope and allows for widening of the treatment area, maintenance of clarity, biological debridement, and reduction of invasion.
