Treatment of gingival recession

Abstract

This case report describes about treatment of gingival recession. Introduction: The increasing esthetic demands from patients has required that clinicians sharpen their skills and adopt newer and more novel techniques to satisfy these demands. In periodontal therapy, periodontal plastic surgery poses a substantial challenge to the clinician, both because it is technique sensitive and also because it includes a wide array of procedures and their variations. Conventional plastic procedures have provided satisfactory results in the treatment of gingival recession but there is, presently, a greater need for more advanced procedures that cause less surgical morbidity as also provide improved results. Minimally invasive surgery has been harnessed in periodontics for this purpose and has been extensively used in multiple indications, including root coverage. Novel-Vestibular Incision Supra-periosteal Tunnel Access (N-VISTA) applies the principles of minimally invasive surgery to provide satisfactory results in root coverage. Very less literature is available about the success of N-Vista Surgery in Mandibular arch. Case presentation: A 23-year-old female patient presented with localised Miller Class I/II buccal recession defects on mandibular anterior teeth.
