Objective: Currently, there is no established treatment protocol to treat interdental papillary loss. This research aimed to evaluate the outcomes of interdental papillary reconstruction using minimally invasive surgery, with injectable hyaluronic acid gel.
Method And Materials: Seventeen patients were included, each with five sites of class 1 papillary recession (40 sites in the maxilla and 45 sites in the mandible). Subperiosteal tunneling was performed through a horizontal incision made apical to the base of the papilla without penetrating it. The free gingival sulcus was sealed by 000 retraction cord. A total of 0.2 to 0.6 mL hyaluronic acid was injected gradually. The incision was sutured with polyglycolic sutures. Treated sites underwent clinical and digital evaluation at three follow-up time points (1 month, 3 months, and 6 months).
Results: The interdental papillary defect height in the maxillary sites significantly reduced by 60%, 66%, and 42% at 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively. In mandibular sites, the reduction was 54%, 55%, and 40% at the same follow-up time points. Regarding interdental papillary defect surface area in the maxilla, the reduction was 65%, 71%, and 45% at 1, 3, and 6 months. In the mandible, a reduction of 60%, 64%, and 48% was noticed at the same time points. Regarding patients' pain level score, during the day of surgery, 16 patients reported pain; the average pain score out of 10 was 3.94, and 11 patients (64.7%) needed to take analgesics. The pain generally subsided in the following days. At the day of treatment, 12 out of the 17 patients (70.6%) reported mild difficulty in speaking and eating. No complication, hypersensitivity, or allergy was noted in any patient.
Conclusion: Subperiosteal tunneling with hyaluronic acid injection demonstrates clinical improvements in papilla height and papillary recession surface area reduction after 3 months of follow-up, with reduction in improvement after 6 months.
Clinical Significance: Adjunctive use of hyaluronic acid injection with minimally invasive surgery in interdental papillary management may improve clinical and esthetic outcomes.

The interdental papilla is closely associated with oral health and dental aesthetics. Interproximal papilla is an essential component of pink aesthetics as well as an indispensable prerequisite for the health of oral tissues. The loss of papillary height not only considerably affects final esthetic results, but also brings a series of periodontal complications.

Background: Successful periodontal regeneration depends on primary wound closure and interdental papilla preservation. In this case study, we introduce a novel triangle papilla access approach (T-PAA) performed under a surgical microscope for treating interdental bone defects. In this novel approach, buccal incisions were used to access root surfaces and bone defects, avoiding interdental papilla incisions and preventing papillary collapse and necrosis.

Aim: Compliance with plaque control measures in open interdental spaces, an essential element in management of periodontitis, is reported to be poor. Mobile health (mHealth) approach is an effective approach for behavior change. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of mHealth in improving plaque control in type 2 embrasures.

Objective: Treatment of gingival recession in the anterior mandible is more complex due to unique anatomic features including excessive tension due to frenal and muscle attachments, thin tissue, shallow vestibule, and narrow interdental space. These features are particularly limiting in the presence of deep recession and negatively impact the success most routine soft tissue grafting procedures. The recently proposed laterally closed tunnel combined the benefit of tension management from tunneling rather than incising papillae with lateral closure of deep recession to minimize the need for coronal advancement.

Article Synopsis
- Esthetic and phonetic issues often arise after periodontal regeneration of anterior teeth, even when the treatment is deemed successful.
- Conventional techniques mainly focus on deeper bone defects but often overlook the critical loss of interdental papillae.
- The introduced papillary coronal anchorage technique is a new surgical method that allows for effective reconstruction of both the interdental papilla and underlying bone defects through a unique suture method and the use of growth factors.
