Comparing the outcomes of incisions made by colorado microdissection needle, electrosurgery tip, and surgical blade during periodontal surgery: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Electrosurgery offers many unique advantages such as hemostasis and precise tissue cutting; however, there are a number of disadvantages including thermal injury and delayed wound healing.

Aims

The aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes of incisions made by Colorado^® microdissection needle, electrosurgery tip, and surgical blade during periodontal surgery.
