2. Interdental papilla - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdental_papilla

   The interdental papilla, also known as the interdental gingiva, is the part of the gums (gingiva) that exists coronal to the free gingival margin on the mesial and distal surfaces of the teeth. The interdental papillae fill in the area between the teeth apical to their contact areas to prevent food impaction; they assume a conical shape for the ...

3. Gums - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gums

   The interdental gum lies between the teeth. They occupy the gingival embrasure, which is the interproximal space beneath the area of tooth contact. The interdental papilla can be pyramidal or have a "col" shape. Attached gums are resistant to the forces of chewing and covered in keratin.

4. Periodontology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontology

   It is normally triangular or pyramidal in shape and is formed by two interdental papillae (lingual and facial). [4] [5] The middle or centre part of the interdental papilla is made up of attached gingiva, whereas the borders and tip are formed by the free gingiva. The central point between the interdental papillae is called the col.

5. List of periodontal diseases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_periodontal_diseases

   Combined periodontic-endodontic lesions may sometimes be abscesses, but these are considered in a separate category. A gingival abscess involves only the gingiva near the marginal gingiva or the interdental papilla. A periodontal abscess involves a greater dimension of the gum tissue, extending apically and adjacent to a periodontal pocket.

6. Periodontal fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_fiber

   The main principal fiber group is the alveolodental ligament, which consists of five fiber subgroups: alveolar crest, horizontal, oblique, apical, and interradicular on multirooted teeth.

7. Necrotizing gingivitis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_gingivitis

   The main features are painful, bleeding gums, and ulceration of interdental papillae (the sections of gum between adjacent teeth). This disease, along with necrotizing periodontitis (NP) and necrotizing stomatitis, is classified as a necrotizing periodontal disease , one of the three general types of gum disease caused by inflammation of the ...
