Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background and objective
Pink gingival esthetics, especially in the anterior teeth, has been an important success criterion in implant-supported restoration. The factor vital to the esthetic success, in the anterior maxillary implants, is the soft tissue profile, which should replicate that of the natural healthy tooth. The absence of the interimplant papilla causes an interimplant black triangle thus leading to cosmetic deformities, phonetic difficulty and food impaction. True papilla regeneration is not possible because the peri-implant soft tissue does not have the same structure as that of the periodontium and, therefore, the term ‘papilla-like’ tissue formation or ‘implant papilla’ is used. This resultant ‘implant papilla’ is the product of soft tissue depth and volume and has to be skilfully surgically created. However, reconstructing a predictable peri-implant papilla is the most complex and challenging aspect of implant dentistry. This article presents a review of various innovative surgical techniques to reconstruct interimplant papilla.
