IF-VISTA: surgical innovation for the treatment of recessions in the fifth sextant
28/05/2026
The new issue of ‘Perio Clínical’ publishes an interesting clinical case using the IF-VISTA technique, a minimally invasive approach designed for the treatment of multiple gingival recessions in the anterior mandibular region, one of the most complex areas from a mucogingival point of view. The paper, authored by Vanessa Frazão and Fernando Suárez, shows how access through a subperiosteal tunnel and vestibular incision can improve surgical management and favour predictable aesthetic and functional outcomes. The article explores the clinical challenges associated with this type of defect, as well as the advantages of tunneling and VISTA techniques in terms of minimal invasiveness, tissue stability and root coverage. A highly relevant clinical proposal for professionals seeking to update their knowledge in mucogingival surgery and advanced soft tissue management.
