Abstract
Gingival recession is defined as the exposure of the root surface by an apical shift in position of the marginal gingiva. Tunnelling technique (TUN) has been introduced as a minimally invasive and highly aesthetic treatment option for the treatment of gingival recession. To reduce the possibility of lacerating the critical marginal tissue during initial tunnel preparation. Zadeh introduced the vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique.
AIM: Evaluation & Assessment of root coverage in multiple recession using VISTA & Tunnelling technique with autologous T-PRF membrane.
RESULT: by the present case series it can be concluded that both the techniques proved to be equally effective in achieving recession coverage without any significant difference.
CONCLUSION: both the minimally invasive modalities have shown effective recession coverage & proves to be a predictable alternative to conventional perio-plastic procedures
