According to the publisher, the book first presents the minimally invasive philosophy, then demonstrates the protocols a surgeon needs to develop new skills.

Who should read Periodontal and Peri-implant Plastic Microsurgery

• Periodontists who want to bring microsurgical precision to their plastic periodontal procedures.

How the book is structured

The publisher’s description indicates a clear progression: Periodontal and Peri-implant Plastic Microsurgery opens with the philosophy behind minimally invasive surgery and then moves to the clinical protocols. As the title states, these protocols apply to plastic surgery both around natural teeth and around implants, with an emphasis on precision.

How to build microsurgical skills with this book

1. Start with the philosophy. Read the opening principles carefully; the protocols that follow make more sense once the reasoning is clear.
2. Practise outside the mouth. Before applying a protocol clinically, rehearse incisions and suturing on training models under the same magnification you will use in surgery.
3. Study the photo sequences step by step. For each procedure, note the instruments, the order of steps and the result at each stage.
4. Document your own cases. Photograph your procedures and compare them with the book to see where precision can improve.
