Radiographic Assessment of the Distance of Contact Point to the Crest of Bone on the Presence or Absence of Interproximal Papilla
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine whether the distance from the contact point to the bone crest on standardized periapical radiographs of the maxillary anterior teeth is related to the presence or absence of the interproximal papilla in adults. Determination of Existence of Interdental Papilla; The presence or absence of interproximal papilla was done visually. And Papillae were considered present when gingival tissue filled the embrasure space. Measurements were only performed on the sites that had close contacts. The presence or absence of papilla with respect to the BC-CP distance was found that the absence of papilla was directly related to the distance between the contact point and bone crest. When the papilla was present the mean value of the distance from contact point to crest of bone was 4.31 mm. When the papilla was missing the mean height values were 6.86 mm. The results of unpaired t- test are Highly Significant (P <0.0001). The distance from the contact point to the bone crest on standardized periapical radiographs of the maxillaray anterior teeth is highly associated with the presence or absence of the interproximal papiilla and is a useful guide for clinical evaluation.
