Correction: Effectiveness of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique with or without A-PRF in treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recession defects (MAGRD): A 12 months CBCT study

[This corrects the article

✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦

No actionable change — this article is a dental/periodontal correction notice entirely unrelated to audiology practice.

✦ Why It Matters ✦

This article does not matter to the audiology field; it was likely indexed in error and has no relevance to hearing care.

✦ Key Points ✦

01Correction notice for a PLoS One dental study on gum recession surgery techniques.
02Covers the VISTA technique with or without A-PRF (a platelet-rich fibrin used in dentistry).
03Completely unrelated to audiology, hearing loss, or ear health.
04No audiology clinical or research implications.
