Abstract

The aim of this literature review was to present minimally invasive surgical techniques (MISTs) for the regeneration of intrabony defects and the impact of these surgical procedures on clinical outcomes. Less invasive surgical procedures lead to a more uneventful postoperative healing and reduce patient morbid-ity. The introduction of these techniques together with the use of magnification tools enables gentle tissue manipulation with performing minimal incisions and flap elevations in the field of surgical treatment of intrabony defects. Minimally invasive surgical techniques induce minor surgical trauma and improve the wound stability with favorable results in terms of clinical outcomes and the patient’s comfort. The defect anatomy, patient-centered factors and the various biomaterials applied are considered. Recent evidence concludes that the adjunctive use of regenerative materials seems to have a less determinant effect on the clinical performance of minimally invasive surgical techniques. In addition, more studies are required to investigate the clinical efficacy of these surgical techniques in the treatment of intrabony defects in comparison with the conventional papilla preservation flap techniques.
