Comparative study of the modified VISTA technique (m-VISTA) versus the coronally advanced flap (CAF) in the treatment of multiple Miller class III/RT2 recessions: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the percentage of mean root coverage (MRC%) obtained in the treatment of multiple Miller class III/RT2 gingival recessions using the modified VISTA (m-VISTA) technique versus the coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique, using a connective tissue graft (CTG) in both cases.

Materials and methods

Twenty-four patients were randomly treated with m-VISTA (test group (TG) = 12) or CAF (control group (CG) = 12). A calibrated, experienced, and blinded examiner collected data related to multiple periodontal clinical variables, especially the recession (REC) in order to calculate the MRC% at 6 and 12 months, which was the primary outcome of the study. Also, the radiological bone level, the characteristics of the CTG, and postsurgical incidences were assessed. Fina
