In patients selected for Colorado® needle group incision was given with Colorado® needle tip ( N103 A which is 3 cm length straight, 3/32 in sleeve diameter),

Electrosurgery tip was used to give incisions.

No.15 surgical blade was used to give incisions.

Periodontitis

The primary feature of the Colorado® microdissection needle is the ultra-sharp tungsten tip that delivers the wave-form from the electrosurgery generator to a very small spot. This allows the use of extremely low wattages, resulting in less tissue necrosis, precision cutting and cautery, and less post-operative pain.

Colorado® microdissection needle

Studies have shown that, heat generated by electrosurgical devices are influenced by factors like duration of contact between tissue and electrode tip, current intensity, electro section waveform and the electrode tip size. A larger tip causes more tissue damage, increased operating power and more amount of lateral heat production. This led to the development of microdissection needle with fine electrode tip and efficient power usage. The use of microdissection needles does not have any significant difference in wound healing or pain when compared with scalpel.

Quantity of blood loss by swab weighing method.

Probing pocket depths (PPD) were recorded using a University of North Carolina no. 15 (UNC -15) color-coded periodontal probe at baseline, 120 and 180 days after surgery.

Changes in dimensions of interdental papilla using a periodontal probe.

Postoperative pain was assessed by using visual analogue scale (VAS) which was recorded 1 day, 7 & 15 days after surgery. The visual analogue scale (VAS) consists of a line, usually 10 cm long, whose ends are labelled as the extremes ('no pain' and 'severe pain'). The patients were asked to mark on the line which indicated their pain intensity.

Wound healing was recorded using Early wound healing index (EHI).
