Abstract
This case
series presents clinical outcomes of four soft tissue augmentation techniques
for root coverage in patients with gingival recession. Four patients underwent
distinct surgical procedures: coronally advanced flap (CAF) with connective
tissue graft (CTG), tunnel technique with CTG, vestibular incision
subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) with CTG, and modified coronally advanced
flap (mCAF) with CTG. All patients received non-surgical periodontal therapy
before surgery and standardized post-operative care. Results indicated
significant root coverage and improved soft tissue thickness in all cases. With
the advancement of microsurgical instruments and loupes, microsurgical
procedures have become increasingly widespread. In the literature, qualitative
success criteria have begun to be presented alongside quantitative success
criteria. However, the choice of surgical procedure should not be based solely
on selecting the most minimally invasive option. The selection of the
appropriate procedure should consider patient-specific factors and clinical
conditions.
