A new surgical technique effectively reconstructs interdental papillae around maxillary implants. This method significantly improved the papillary index score (PIS), enhancing gingival esthetics for implant restorations.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Periodontal Plastic Surgery
  • Esthetic Dentistry

Background:

  • Gingival esthetics is crucial for successful maxillary implant restorations.
  • Periodontal plastic surgery can improve anterior maxillary esthetics.
  • A novel surgical approach aims to reconstruct interdental papillae during implant exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a new surgical technique for interdental papilla reconstruction around maxillary implants.
  • To assess the efficacy of this approach performed at implant exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical procedure performed on 32 patients with 36 maxillary single-tooth implants.
  • Papillary Index Score (PIS) measured preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively.
  • Statistical analysis included paired t-test, Pearson's correlation, and ANOVA.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant mean increase of 1.07 in PIS (P<0.001).
  • Papillary Index Score (PIS) increased in 89% of sites.
  • 71% of papillae showed a 1-unit PIS increase, and 18% showed a 2-unit increase.

Conclusions:

  • The surgical technique, performed during second-stage implant surgery, successfully reconstructs interproximal papillae.
  • This method is effective for partial or total papilla reconstruction adjacent to maxillary single-implant restorations.
