Vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA)-based management of a periodontal defect with limited bony support.

Researchers used a tunnel-based surgical technique with a suspension suture to stabilize soft tissue before placing bone graft material in a patient with a challenging periodontal defect. At 12 months, the approach achieved probing depth reduction, clinical attachment gain, and radiographic defect fill.
