Does vestibular incision improve the outcomes of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel technique: A randomized clinical trial for treatment of multiple adjacent type 1 gingival recession.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel technique (VISTA) and tunnel approach combined with connective tissue graft (CTG) for treatment of type 1 (RT1) multiple gingival recession.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with a total of 59 nonmolar recession teeth were randomly allocated to VISTA + CTG or Tunnel + CTG group. Recession depth and width, probing depth, clinical attachment level, width of keratinized tissue, gingival thickness, flap tension, mean root coverage (MRC), complete root coverage (CRC), patient-centered, and esthetic outcomes (root coverage esthetic scores, RES) were assessed at baseline and 12 months after surgery.

Efficacy of periodontal minimally invasive surgery with and without regenerative materials for treatment of intrabony defect: a randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: The minimally invasive surgical technique was modified in suture (MISTms) in this study. The trial was to determine the efficacy of MISTms with and without regenerative materials for the treatment of intrabony defect and to identify factors influencing 1-year clinical attachment level (CAL) gain.

Methods: Thirty-six patients with interdental intrabony defects were randomly assigned to MISTms (MISTms alone, 18) or MISTms plus deproteinized bovine bone mineral and collagen membrane (MISTms combined, 18).
