Summary

Scientists do research to answer important questions which might help change or improve the way we do things in the future.

The investigators know that using glasses with special attachments that provide magnification (dental loupes) for dental procedures results in better healing than not using magnification. This study will test if using a microscope, that gives much higher magnification, can result in even better healing than using dental loupes.

Conditions

  • Periodontal Diseases

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Microsurgical approach with Digital Microscope

The incision will be sutured with the use of a digital microscope (30 X) (Group 1). The microsurgical approach is a research only procedure that may add time to the total surgical time (\< 6%).
