Abstract
Objectivs: This study was designed to evaluate and compare the papilla preservation technique (PPT) versus subgingival debridement in the treatment of periodontal pockets associated with shallow- moderate intrabony defects (IBDs) in the anterior esthetic zone of the mouth. The use of an optical microscope enhanced visual perception and illumination thus improving the surgical technique. Conclusion: Both treated-sites using SRP alone or SRP followed by PPT resulted in PPD reduction and CAL gain with minimal increase in GR. In the treatment of shallow to moderate IBDs, SRP followed by PPT is the treatment of choice for deep pockets in the anterior esthetic region where SRP alone didn{u2019}t result in decrease in PPD < 5mm. The use of the optical microscope increased surgical acuity allowing atraumatic soft and hard tissue manipulation
