PINHOLE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE VERSUS VESTIBULAR INCISION SUBPERIOSTEAL TUNNEL ACCESS TECHNIQUE IN CONJUNCTION WITH COLLAGEN MEMBRANE IN THE TREATMENT OF CAIRO TYPE 1 ISOLATED GINGIVAL RECESSION DEFECTS

Purpose: The objective of this research was to conduct a clinical comparison of the efficacy of the pinhole surgical technique (PST) versus the vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique. These procedures were assessed in the treatment of single, isolated gingival recession defects classified as Type 1 by Cairo et al., with both being performed in conjunction with a collagen membrane.
