[Interdental papilla reconstruction with prosthodontic treatment of maxillary central incisor: case report].
METHODS
A 20-year-old female whose chief complaint was esthetic disturbance of a crown placed on the maxillary left central incisor.


CONCLUSIONS
The interdental papilla was reconstructed only by the prosthodontic treatment of maxillary left central incisor. This case suggests that the proximal and subgingival contours of provisional crown is very important to the reconstruction of interdental papilla, and also suggests that the transmission of the information regarding the configuration of a provisional crown to the lab side is very important.


CONCLUSIONS
This case shows that the emergence profile of a single crown, especially of its proximal aspect, is important to reconstruct the interdental papilla.
