Surgical reconstruction of interdental papilla using an interposed subepithelial connective tissue graft: a case report.
The unpredictability of current surgical procedures for papilla reconstruction has been a matter of concern for both periodontists and patients. This case report presents a complete papilla reconstruction in a 20-year-old woman using an interposed subepithelial connective tissue graft. The results show that this technique can be successfully used in treating the loss of papillae and achieving long-term stability. The objective of this report is to describe the surgical technique and comment on the factors that may have influenced the final result.
