Abstract

A new technique is described for correction of specific mucogingival defects which is designed to encourage rapid healing of the defect and donor areas. Further, this approach often yields a greater width of attached gingiva than other techniques, and is well tolerated by the patient.

Interdental papilla augmentation procedure following orthodontic treatment in a periodontal patient.

BACKGROUND: The absence of the interdental papilla is a situation that may alter patients' esthetics. Recession of interproximal gingival tissues may be a consequence of periodontal disease, but in some cases it may also be a consequence of periodontal therapy, as a result of surgical or non-surgical procedures. METHODS: The authors present a new multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of migrated maxillary incisors presenting infrabony defects, extrusion, and loss of the interdental papilla. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The proposed clinical protocol may reconstruct the interproximal soft tissue, with esthetic improvement of the papillary level, together with resolution of the periodontal defects.
