title: Interdental Implant Papillae Grow up with Temporary Abutment displaced at Monthly Intervals.
abstract: Interdental papillae regeneration remains a challenge in implant dentistry in cases in which papillae are lost following tooth extraction. This report presents an implant case with missing 1st and 2nd premolars and total papillary loss. We performed immediate provisionalization to the first premolar implant with a temporary abutment and crown, whereas the second premolar was submerged. Crown contouring and modifications to the shape and size were performed once every month (the temporary abutment and crown disconnected three times during the 3-month healing period). At the end of the 3-month healing period, papillae regeneration was observed between the implant and the adjacent tooth and between the adjacent implants. Papillae regeneration is possible with temporary abutment and a composite material crown that is properly contoured and polished, even with several abutment removals during the healing period.
