Papilla Reconstruction: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Smile plays an important role in improving esthetics and radiates health and self-confidence. The perfect smile requires an optimal relationship between the teeth, surrounding oral tissues, and periodontal complex. When a disharmony exists between any of these components, the result is a smile that is likely to be perceived as unaesthetic. Similar is the case with interdental bone loss resulting in increased embrasure spaces, with unaesthetic appearance especially in the anterior maxillary regions. Periodontal papilla reconstruction has proved to be a successful technique and a boon to the patient in such a case to return an esthetic and healthy smile to the patient. We report here a similar case of papilla reconstruction with pre-treatment and post-treatment differences depicted in the esthetics.
