Management of Multiple Gingival Recessions with the VISTA Technique: An 18-Month Clinical Case Series.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of the vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique with collagen membrane, bioactive glass, and platelet-rich fibrin. A total of 22 systemically and periodontally healthy subjects with multiple gingival recession defects (Miller Class I and II) in the maxillary esthetic zone were enrolled in the study. The primary outcome measures were mean root coverage and alteration in gingival thickness.

Analgesic efficacy and safety of transdermal and oral diclofenac in postoperative pain management following dental implant placement.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of transdermal and oral routes of diclofenac for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing dental implant placement. Twenty systemically healthy, partially edentulous patients who required dental implants bilaterally in the mandibular first molar region were included. While the patient was under local anesthesia, an implant was placed in the mandibular first molar region of one quadrant.
