The study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of denta professionals as compared to other health professionals.<br /><strong>Material &amp; Methods:</strong> A questionnaire-based study was conducted among 320 dental, medical and nursing health professionals. It included a close-ended questionnaire with 15 questions divided into 3 sections i.e., knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding toothbrush maintenance.<br /><strong>Result:</strong> When dental participants were compared with medical participants, a statistically significant difference was found for questions like, “factors affecting toothbrush wear” and “does a toothbrush help in removal of plaque” with p-values of 0.016 and 0.019 respectively. The same results were found when dental participants were compared with nursing participants but statistically significant results were obtained in the question of whether mouthwash was more beneficial than using a toothbrush for cleaning teeth, with a p value of 0.040.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Dental students, as compared to others, are more aware of toothbrush maintenance and hygiene techniques.</p> <p><strong>How to cite this article:</strong><br />Rathod S, Burad P, Bhure S, Kaule S.

The primary intention of any surgery is to preserve the functionality and well being of the patient. The idea of microsurgery has enhanced the outcomes in terms of passive wound closure and has reduced tissue trauma. A surgical microscope offers the periodontist increased illumination and visual acuity to perform procedures with great precision.<br />Objective: The purpose of this review is to elucidate periodontal microsurgeries such as functions of magnification, microsurgical instrumentation and their application in the field of periodontology.<br />Methodology: Electronic searches on PubMed, Embase, and ResearchGate were made and relevant articles published were reviewed.<br />Results and Conclusion: Periodontal microsurgery, though in its infancy, holds tremendous possibilities. It requires good skills and practice for gaining optimum proficiency in the relevant area. Despite being more technique sensitive than other conventional procedures, the future of periodontics will see increased use of magnification in all fields including implantology.</p> <p> </p> Vibha Chinthakunta Savita Sambashivaiah Copyright (c) 2023 Author's http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2023-04-25 2023-04-25 8 1&2 1 5
