[A case of interdental papillae growth by application of maxillary anterior crowns].
METHODS
The patient had esthetically unacceptable maxillary anterior crowns. Provisional restorations in consideration of the smile line were used for the maturation of periodontal tissues. Owing to full regeneration of interdental papillae, small black triangles that existed in the gingival embrasure disappeared six months after the luting of final restorations.


CONCLUSIONS
We should not overlook the importance of physiological occlusion for the management of healthy periodontal tissues.


CONCLUSIONS
To create a natural-looking esthetic prosthesis, the dentist should strive to create an ideal environment for the technician to fabricate functional and esthetic restorations.
