Dimensional Influence of Interproximal Areas on Existence of Interdental Papillae

Abstract

The vertical and horizontal dimensions of interproximal areas had a substantial, independent, and combined effect on the existence of interproximal papillae.

Evaluation of marginal bone loss of dental implants with internal or external connections and its association with other variables: A systematic review

“…Additionally, the loss of marginal bone height can change the surrounding soft tissue architecture, resulting in the loss of interdental papilla and causing esthetic and phonetic changes and food impaction. 3 Decreases in inflammatory reactions, load concentrations, and bacterial leakage at the implantabutment interface are closely associated with marginal bone loss. 4,5 Material and methods.…”

Measurements of the gingival papillae architecture using cone-beam computed tomography in young Chinese adults

“…The IDD of the papilla was significantly narrower in the complete papilla group than in the deficient papilla group with the mean values of 2.07 mm and 1.81 mm, respectively (p < 0.05) ( Table 1). Results of some previous studies (Cho et al, 2006;Martegani et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2011;Kolte, Kolte & Mishra, 2014) suggested that the IDD is a significant predictor for papilla presence. However, data from other investigations reported that IDD was not a significant factor on multivariate analysis along with controlling for age and CP-BC (Chang, 2008;Chow et al, 2010;Chen et al, 2010).…”

“…Interdental papilla (IP), which occupies the interdental embrasure, not only acts as a barrier in protecting the periodontal structures, but also plays a critical role in facial esthetics (Chow et al, 2010;Chen et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2011). Preserving the gingival tissue in the embrasures of the maxillary anterior sextant is a key consideration in periodontal, restorative, and implant treatment (Tarnow, Magner & Fletcher, 1992;Kolte, Kolte & Mishra, 2014). Various factors may influence the presence or absence of the IP including the distance between underlying bone crest (BC) and contact point (CP), interdental distance (IDD), periodontal phenotype, and adjacent tooth form (Tarnow, Magner & Fletcher, 1992;Cho et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2010;Chow et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2011).…”
