Clinical efficacy of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) for the treatment of gingival recession: a systematic review and meta-analysis
摘要
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) combined with various biomaterials or graft substitutes in the treatment of gingival recession.
MethodsA systematic search was conducted in five English databases and four Chinese databases. Data analysis was performed using STATA 16.0 software.
ResultsA total of 14 literature were included, involving 226 patients with Miller class I or II gingival recession and 526 affected teeth, including 10 cases of single gingival recession patients. The meta-analysis results showed that after treatment with VISTA combined with various biomaterials or graft substitutes, the average gingival recession depth (GRD) of patients decreased by 1.36 [MD = -1.36, 95% CI: -1.84, -0.89, Z=-5.604, P < 0.001]; the average complete root coverage (CRC) was 58% [CRC% = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.49, 0.68, Z = 11.684, P < 0.001]; the average keratinized gingiva (KG) increased by 1.32 [MD = 1.32, 95% CI: 0.92, 1.72, Z = 6.416, P < 0.001]; the average keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) increased by 0.46 [MD = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.27, 0.65, Z = 4.765, P < 0.001]; the average probing depth (PD) decreased by 0.18 [MD=-0.18, 95% CI: -0.34, -0.02, Z=-2.259, P = 0.024]; and the average clinical attachment level (CAL) decreased by 2.14 [MD=-2.14, 95% CI:-2.78, -1.51, Z=-6.611, P < 0.001].
ConclusionVISTA combined with various biomaterials or graft substitutes is significantly effective in treating Miller class I or II gingival recession. These conclusions provide relevant references for the clinical selection of VISTA treatment methods.
