The interdental papilla does not fully enclose the space, leading to an aperture between adjacent teeth. [1] This gap has many causes including gingival recession, and gingival withdrawal post-orthodontic work. [2] Interdental "black triangles" were rated as the third-most-disliked aesthetic problem below caries and crown margins. [3]
The flap is re-approximated, and the first suture should be placed in the interdental papilla. [2] After suturing the flap, a sterile damp gauze should be compressed on the wound for several minutes; an ice pack can be used (15 minutes on, 30 minutes off) by the patient. Sutures should be removed two to four days after surgery, depending on ...
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.
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 ...
The oral mucosa is the mucous membrane lining the inside of the mouth.It comprises stratified squamous epithelium, termed "oral epithelium", and an underlying connective tissue termed lamina propria. [1]
In embryology and prenatal development, the dental papilla is a condensation of ectomesenchymal cells called odontoblasts, seen in histologic sections of a developing tooth. It lies below a cellular aggregation known as the enamel organ. The dental papilla appears after 8–10 weeks of intra uteral life.
Gingivectomy is the primary treatment method available in reducing the pocket depths of patients with periodontitis and suprabony pockets. [4] [5] In a retrospective comparison between different treatment approach to periodontitis management based on the initial and final gingival health, conventional gingivectomy was proven to be more successful in reducing pocket depths and inflammation ...
Gingival abscess—a localized, purulent infection involves only the soft gum tissue near the marginal gingiva or the interdental papilla. [ 3 ] Periodontal abscess—a localized, purulent infection involving a greater dimension of the gum tissue, extending apically and adjacent to a periodontal pocket .
