OBJECTIVES: The present randomized controlled trial was planned to compare the effectiveness of the Vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) performed alone and VISTA with Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) impregnated with Demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) for the management of multiple adjacent gingival recession defects (MAGRD) in the maxillary anterior region....
