Operating Microscope

• Some of the Advantages when Dr. Gould is using a Surgical/Operating Microscope Include:
• 
  
• Allows Dr. Gould to minimize the size of the surgical site, reducing patient discomfort and healing time.
• Improves accuracy of microsurgical incisions and suturing with very small 6-0 through 8-0 sutures, permitting   precise tissue/tissue and tissue/tooth approximation for primary wound healing.
• Allows for better inspection and diagnosis of abnormal soft tissue lesions of the gingiva, palate, and mucosa.
• Improves visualization of root surface and adjacent intra-bony defects for definitive removal of calculus.
• Aids identification of micro-inflammation during re-evaluation following non-surgical therapy.
• Helps inspection of the quality of restorations and marginal tissues.
• Permits micro-level osseous surgery facilitating bone removal without nicking the root surface and allows for better periodontal ligament preservation during ostectomy.
• Permits accurate sub-epithelial placement and suturing of membranes and subepithelial connective tissue grafts.
• Permits precise control of laser surgery on adjacent teeth without injury to root  surfaces.
• Permits accurate and easier root amputations and hemisection.  Also helps with periapical surgeries when required  during periodontal surgery.
• Improves detection and evaluation of root fractures and abnormalities.
