There are several interesting MID measures in terms of periodontal disease, such as non-surgical or minimally invasive surgery in periodontal therapy, and single-flap or flapless implant surgery. The single-flap approach is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the reconstruction of intraosseous periodontal defects with early wound healing and highly predictable complete flap closure. The effectiveness of the buccal single-flap approach for surgical debridement of deep intraosseous defects has been shown to be comparable to the double-flap approach in terms of clinical attachment level gain, probing pocket depth reduction and minimal gingival recession, six months post-surgery. Another minimally invasive surgery method is flapless implant surgery conducted with help of the tissue punch technique instead of having to raise a mucoperiosteal flap. Reports show that this reduced operational time, accelerated post-surgical healing and even increased patient comfort in some cases.
