Periodontal microsurgery represents a significant advancement in minimally invasive dentistry, offering superior precision, reduced tissue trauma, and enhanced aesthetic outcomes. Grounded in magnification, refined instrumentation, and gentle tissue handling, microsurgical techniques improve visualization and surgical dexterity, enabling accurate incisions, meticulous suturing, and optimal wound healing. Its evolution has been shaped by historical milestones, from early lens use to the introduction of operating microscopes in dentistry. The microsurgical triad—magnification, illumination, and precision—forms the foundation of its clinical efficacy. Specialized instruments, fine sutures, and ergonomic adaptations further enhance procedural predictability and patient comfort. Applications in root coverage, regenerative therapy, and soft tissue augmentation highlight its versatility and effectiveness. This review emphasizes the clinical significance, technical refinements, and therapeutic benefits of periodontal microsurgery, reinforcing its role in contemporary, patient-centred care.
