Résumé :
One of the goals in periodontal surgical therapy is to restore periodontal tissues architecture and function which have been lost in course of periodontitis. Minimally invasive techniques have gained increasing importance especially through the performance of periodontal surgery along with regenerative procedures, whichallows the formation of a new connective tissue attachment including new cementum and supporting bone. The treatment of intrabony defects through surgery and the application of membranes, grafts, and/or active biological agents in addition to open flap debridement has been consistently associated with better clinical healing. The minimally invasive periodontal surgical techniques and their indications will be described and discussed, along with the presentation of relevant clinical cases.
