The extent of this radical advancement can be illustrated by changes in periodontal therapy. These procedures often resulted in esthetic deformities, food impaction, and increased thermal sensitivity. The innovations described in this text detail approaches that stand in marked contrast to traditional methods. Minimally invasive methods for periodontal treatment routinely yield long-term reductions of probing depths and increased clinical attachment levels that exceed those reported for traditional approaches. In addition, minimal thermal hypersensitivity and no gingival recession have been reported. One of the greatest advantages to the clinician is the increased patient acceptance and satisfaction with minimal encroachment versus traditional approaches. This given details will allow the reader to understand minimally invasive periodontal procedures and how they can benefit the reader's practice. It will give the reader significant information on the advantages of the application of minimally invasive procedure to their daily practice.
