Abstract

Reconstruction of the interdental papilla is one of the most challenging and least predictable of treatments. The unpredictability of the current surgical procedures for papilla reconstruction has been a matter of concern for the periodontists. This case report presents papilla reconstruction between the maxillary central incisors in a 26 years old male patient using technique with combined principles of Abram's roll technique for ridge augmentation with Evian's papilla preservation technique. The result shows that this technique can be successfully used to regenerate lost interdental papilla. The objective of this report is to describe a surgical technique to reconstruct collapsed interdental papilla.
