Reconstruction of Lost Interdental Papilla: A Review of Nonsurgical Approaches
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Modern dentistry involves both functional and esthetics role. Interdental papilla loss results in Gingival Black Triangle (GBT), which is considered esthetically unacceptable. It is strongly associated with aging, periodontal disease and post orthodontic treatment. Reconstruction of the lost interdental papilla is difficult and challenging objective to be achieved, as it is strongly associated with the patient smile. Apart from its esthetic function, absence of interdental papilla raises concern over phonetic problems, food and plaque accumulation, which further deteriorate the present condition. Treatment for papilla loss involves correcting oral hygiene procedure, prosthetic restorations and tissue volumizing.Therefore, the present review discusses the different types of papilla loss classifications, etiology associated with open gingival embrasures and all currently available nonsurgical treatment modalities recommended for papilla preservation and reconstruction. It can be inferred that though a golden standard is not yet set to treat papilla loss, the usage of minimally invasive technique has a promising clinical potential in aesthtic reconstruction of lost interdental papilla.
