Conventional surgical approaches in the maxillary anterior region often lead to visible scarring and prolonged healing, compromising esthetic outcomes. The vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique offers a minimally invasive alternative that preserves soft tissue integrity and reduces scarring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Report<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 32\u2010year\u2010old male presented with symptomatic apical periodontitis of the maxillary left central incisor; universal Tooth #9 following failed nonsurgical retreatment. Periapical surgery was performed using the VISTA approach via a vestibular incision beneath the maxillary labial frenum to access the lesion with minimal tissue trauma. After debridement and apicoectomy, the defect was filled with a demineralized xenograft and covered with L\u2010PRF membrane. The flap was sutured for optimal healing. Postoperative follow\u2010up at 12 months demonstrated complete radiographic resolution of the periapical lesion, excellent soft tissue healing without visible scarring, and patient\u2010reported minimal discomfort and anxiety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case illustrates a potential application of the VISTA approach in anterior periradicular surgery, a well\u2010established method in periodontal plastic surgery. The integration of VISTA with regenerative materials, such as xenografts and platelet\u2010rich fibrin (PRF), may enhance bone healing and esthetic outcomes, thereby generating hypotheses for future research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/crid\/9688218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]],"date-time":"2026-10-21T12:34:33Z","timestamp":1792586073000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Optimizing Esthetics in Maxillary Anterior Periradicular Surgery: A Case Report on Vestibular Incision"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7689-2506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manish","family":"Rathi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology Army Dental Centre (Research &amp; Referral)  New Delhi India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1391-6125","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saravanan Sampoornam Pape","family":"Reddy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology Army Dental Centre (Research &amp; Referral)  New Delhi India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3355-1322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Delfin Lovelina","family":"Francis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saveetha Dental College &amp; Hospitals Saveetha University SIMATS  Chennai India  saveetha.com"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3745-3794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ujjwal","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital  Kathmandu Nepal  kmc.edu.np"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_15_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/154411130401500604"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joen.2005.12.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_3_2","first-page":"653","article-title":"Minimally Invasive Treatment of Maxillary Anterior Gingival Recession Defects by Vestibular Incision, Subperiosteal Tunnel Access, and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB","volume":"31","author":"Zadeh H.
