Effectiveness of Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft (SCTG) With Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) For Papilla Reconstruction.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The presence or absence of the interdental papilla is a topic of great esthetic concern. Several surgical and non-surgical techniques have been proposed to rebuild lost papilla. The aim of the present study is to evaluate effectiveness of subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) with coronally advanced flap for papilla reconstruction. Five patients with the age range of 20-40 years who were conscious for their esthetics with total or partial loss of interdental papilla were selected for the study. The papilla reconstruction was done using subepithelial connective tissue graft. Mean gain of 2.43 mm in papilla height was observed and mean reduction in horizontal distance at gingival margin was 1.5 mm at 3 months after surgery. Therefore the data from the present study suggest that the use of subepithelial connective tissue graft along with coronally advanced flap can successfully regenerate the loss interdental papilla.
