Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators know that using glasses with special attachments that provide magnification (dental loupes) for dental procedures results in better healing than not using magnification. This study will test if using a microscope, that gives much higher magnification, can result in even better healing than using dental loupes.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The hypothesis is that the wound closure technique in Group 1: Microsurgical approach with digital microscope will have improved periodontal flap vertical releasing incision wound healing as compared to the Group 2: Standard of Care surgical approach with dental loupes.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group 1: Microsurgical incision closure
Microsurgical approach to wound closure using a digital microscope to enhance view
Microsurgical approach with Digital Microscope
The incision will be sutured with the use of a digital microscope (30 X) (Group 1). The microsurgical approach is a research only procedure that may add time to the total surgical time (\< 6%).
Group 2: Dental loupes incision closure
Standard of care surgical approach to wound closure using Dental Loupes.
No interventions assigned to this group
