Clinical Trial Summary

Thorough search of literature revealed no study has correlated the presence/absence of papilla to the contact point to attachment level distance. It could be a non- invasive approach and there is no need to inject local anaesthesia to the patient. It might be beneficial in predicting the papilla reconstruction outcome in patient friendly and non-invasive way.


Clinical Trial Description

The presence of interdental papilla specially of maxillary anterior tooth region is an essential esthetic component. Loss of papilla or black triangle is not appealing and it is concern for both patient and clinicians. Beside esthetic concern, black triangle is associated with phonetic problem and food impaction. Several factors which may influence the presence/absence of interdental papilla are alveolar bone height, gingival biotype, interdental space morphology, type of contact area. Different classification system to categorize interdental papilla loss have been proposed. In the landmark study by Tarnow, a correlation was found between vertical distance from contact point to bone crest and presence/ absence of interdental papilla. Interdental clinical attachment level may indirectly indicate the changes in underlying bone level and it has been proven to be an important prognostic factor in consideration of success of root coverage procedure. Thorough search of literature revealed no study has correlated the presence/absence of papilla to the contact point to attachment level distance. It could be a non- invasive approach and there is no need to inject local anaesthesia to the patient. It might be beneficial in predicting the papilla reconstruction outcome in patient friendly and non-invasive way. ;
