The ultimate goal of any treatment modality is resolution of the disease with regeneration of the lost tissues, if possible producing minimum post-operative morbidity. Minimally invasive surgery is one such treatment modality that is giving promising results in terms of reduced surgical trauma, increased wound stability, excellent primary closure of the wound with minimal patient's discomfort and side effects. Minimally invasive surgery has to be considered a true reality in periodontal regenerative surgery. Several clinical trials have shown its efficacy and predictability in the treatment of intrabony defects. The clinical efficacy is consistently associated with a very low morbidity both during surgery and in the post-operative healing period. The minimally invasive surgical techniques require a specific training and the use of dedicated instruments and materials to be successfully applied to the treatment of intrabony defects.
