Application benefits of Microdentistry in Periodontics & Implantology
Visualization tools such as OPMI enhance the quality of your diagnostics by visualizing delicate structures more precisely and supporting you for example in:
- detecting of subgingival calculus and biofilm
- evaluating of furcation entries of molars
- assessing of root surface characteristics, such as enamel pearls, concavities and grooves
For surgical interventions, ZEISS OPMI supports more controlled
manipulation of delicate oral soft tissues, such as:
- Enabling the use of microblades that help to reduce cuts
- Improving tissue preservation and handling by using specific flap designs
- Enabling the use of smaller suture diameters which potentially reduce the trauma and the tension on the tissue margins
Effect of smaller sutures: Healing 7 days after intervention is compared for macrosurgical intervention in image (1) and angiography (2) with the microsurgical approach in the respective image (3) and angiography (4).
