Effectiveness of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique with or without A-PRF in treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recession defects (MAGRD): A 12 months CBCT study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In order to treat MAGRD in the maxillary anterior region, the VISTA approach was evaluated and compared with and without A-PRF.

Materials and methods

A split mouth RCT was designed with 216 MAGRD that were assigned to VISTA alone and VISTA with A-PRF. The complete root coverage (CRC) and gingival thickness (GT) were measured using CBCT at baseline and 12 months post-operatively, while the clinical parameters of probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), width of keratinized gingival (WKG), gingival recession depth (GRD), and gingival recession width (GRW) were recorded at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.

Results

From baseline to 12 months, there was a significant decrease in the mean values of GRD and GRW with an increase in WKG. CBCT scans show
