| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction: The root surface and cementoenamel junction are exposed due to gingival recession, which is caused by the apical migration of the gingival tissue edge. Periodontitis, mechanical trauma (such vigorous tooth cleaning), malocclusion, or iatrogenic factors are possible causes. Clinically, it presents with root sensitivity, esthetic concerns, and increased susceptibility to root decay. Aim of the study: to evaluate and compare the esthetic outcomes of Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access (VISTA) technique, with connective tissue graft; versus Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) technique; with connective tissue graft, in treating gingival recession in esthetic zone. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients, with Miller class I or class II gingival recession, were included in the current study, with age range from 18 to 55 years. Defects were treated using either VISTA combined with connective tissue graft technique, or CAF combined with connective tissue technique. At three, six and nine months, total root esthetic (RES)score were measured using. Results: Results of the present study showed no significant difference in terms of RES between test and control group. Conclusions: Based on the results of the current study, it can be concluded that the RES revealed no significant difference between both surgical techniques. | ||||
