Periodontal Microsurgery

This new LM™ periodontal microsurgical instrument selection was developed in cooperation with Dr. Axel Endruhn showcasing exceptional expertise. His innovative IETS protocol formed the essential basis of the instrument design process. The instruments offer versatility for various surgical techniques, making them a valuable tool in diverse medical procedures.

LM™ high-quality instruments are designed to provide ease of use and efficiency, supporting medical professionals in their tasks. The LM-ErgoSense® silicone handle is crafted for exceptional ergonomics and slip prevention, ensuring comfort and safety during use. Sharp and precise instrument tip designs contribute to safety and efficiency, making these tools reliable for surgical applications.

Microsurgery and minimally invasive techniques

Microsurgery refers to procedures performed under magnification, such as a microscope or loupes, and
micro-instruments.

The main differences between conventional periodontal surgery and periodontal microsurgery lie in the techniques, precision, and recovery times.

Minimally invasive techniques reduce the size of the necessary incisions, thereby decreasing healing time, associated pain, morbidity and the risk of infections and other complications.

Better healing process and patient satisfactions

• Preservation of vascularization
• Improved probability of achieving complete root
  coverage, aesthetics and post-surgical recovery
• Promotion of tissue regeneration
• Significantly improved mean root coverage
