Introduction
Restoring the papilla is a major component of modern aesthetics. Although difficult to achieve quickly, following the principles of the biologic width it is easy to manage. The biologic width determines the position of the free gingival and the tip of the papilla. The tip of the papilla between natural teeth lies 3-4mm higher than the underlying bone. Following this principle we present a case that was restore over a period of 4 months.
The patient a 32 year old teacher was referred to us by her dentist as a difficult case and having unrealistic expectations. During her consultation she said she only wanted to have beautiful front teeth and that her previous restorations which she had for almost a decade where causing her gingival irritation for many years but she failed to address the problem. The patient was aware of the destruction of the underlying soft tissue and also of the missing papilla and was willing to undergo gum plastic surgery if it was the only way to correct the problem (Figure 1-10).
