Background: The exposed roots of teeth due to gingival recession can generate dentin
hypersensitivity and esthetic problems because a patient feels that the teeth, especially the
anterior teeth, look long. Recession in thin anterior gingiva often brings unsatisfactory
treatment results, so mucogingival surgery, such as vestibular incision subperiosteal
tunneling access (VISTA) with the addition of a connective tissue graft (CTG), can be chosen

Background
The exposed roots of teeth due to gingival recession can generate dentin hypersensitivity and esthetic problems because a patient feels that the teeth, especially the anterior teeth, look long. Recession in thin anterior gingiva often brings unsatisfactory treatment results, so mucogingival surgery, such as vestibular incision subperiosteal tunneling access (VISTA) with the addition of a connective tissue graft (CTG), can be chosen as an appropriate treatment technique.
Purpose
This case report describes the creeping attachment phenomenon after treatment of anterior gingival recession with VISTA and CTG techniques.
Case
A 28-year-old female patient came with Miller Class I gingival recession in thin anterior gingiva and malposition teeth, complaining about pain and esthetic problems.
Case management
The patient was treated with a VISTA technique combined with CTG. The creeping attachment phenomenon seen at three months postoperatively obtained good root coverage so that the patient’s complaints were resolved even though periodic control was needed to evaluate oral hygiene.
Conclusion
VISTA and CTG techniques are appropriate for treating anterior mandibular gingival recession with minimal trauma and provide significant results.
