Gum retractors, spoon excavators, and explorers are used to secure the view in the periodontal pocket. However, they are inadequate for sustained visualization of the operative field during a procedure. The author devised a technique to open the periodontal pocket using an absorbent paper point. This technique is referred to as micro-retraction. It is performed under a microscope and allows for widening of the treatment area, maintenance of clarity, biological debridement, and reduction of invasion.
