Periodontitis is a complex term that affects all supporting tissues of the teeth and can be treated non-surgically as well as surgically. Periodontal therapy success is contingent on adequate case selection, patient cooperation, accurate diagnosis, and treatment plan. From a clinical standpoint, improved visualization during periodontal operations is required to achieve better results. Minimally invasive periodontal therapy (MIPT) explains need of utilizing minimally invasive techniques and provides information on how to improve visualization using a minimally invasive approach. Also, the reasons for minimally invasive periodontal procedures as well as numerous strategies for minimally invasive nonsurgical and surgical periodontal procedures in this Review will be explored.
