What if a simple change in surgical technique could transform healing?

As part of the current Oral Regeneration Topic “Minimally Invasive Surgical Therapy,” Rino Burkhardt was interviewed by Albert Chen to share the story behind his landmark study, “Coverage of Localized Gingival Recessions: Comparison of Micro- and Macrosurgical Technique,” which challenged traditional methods and reshaped the way we think about soft tissue healing.

In the interview, Burkhardt discusses how microsurgical techniques improve blood perfusion, speed up recovery, and influence long-term outcomes. He also reflects on the challenges of designing the study, the innovative use of angiography, and why deliberate, hands-on training is just as important as the surgical tools themselves.
