“…The minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) was used in eleven studies by different authors (Aimetti et al, ; Cortelini et al, ; Cortellini et al, ; Cortellini & Tonetti, , ; Cortellini & Tonetti, , ; Cosyn et al, ; De Bruyckere et al, ; Ghezzi et al, ; Ribeiro, Casarin, Palma, et al, 2011a; Ribeiro, Casarin, Palma, et al, 2011b; Ribeiro et al, , ), with the aid of an operating microscope. It consists of an envelope full‐thickness flap extended to the buccal and lingual aspects of the two teeth adjacent to the defect to expose 1–2 mm of the residual bone crest; flaps are then repositioned without any coronal displacement, and the suturing approach consists of a single modified internal mattress suture.…”
