Restoration of Lost Interdental Papilla: A Surgical Technique
Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry
September 2018

Abstract: Loss of interdental pailla due to trauma or inflammatory periodontal diseases presents significant esthetic-zone challenges to clinicians.  Minuscule working spaces and limited blood supply to these areas render conventional surgical techniques somewhat unpredictable.  The implementation of vertical releasing incisions can further jeopardize blood supply and leave unattractive scarring upon healing.  This article discusses a surgical technique utilizing microscopes and microsurgical instruments to more effectively achieve esthetic results.  Additionally, the article provides a brief overview on the development of periodontal plastic and reconstruction surgery and updated information to support previously published reports by this author.
