(2018). Papilla and pontic area regeneration in patient with gingival smile: A clinical case. Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 10 (5), 507-512. https://doi.org/10.4317/jced.54859.1989-5488https://hdl.handle.net/11441/160994Purpose: Connective tissue grafts are widely documented as a predictable technique for treating Miller Class I and II recessions, as well as procedures in which soft tissue augmentation is required for aesthetic reasons. This article aims to explore the resolution of a clinical case with this type of problem. Clinical case: This case describes a technique for reconstructing a pontic area and adjacent papilla by means of two consecutive connective tissue grafts. The first graft served to increase the amount of tissue in the horizontal direction, and the second promoted vertical reconstruction of the defect. Results and Conclusion: In cases with aesthetic requirements, restorative intervention may be able to mask tissue loss, but it can hardly achieve optimal aesthetic results. Periodontal plastic surgery techniques can be used to achieve that ideal result. The clinician must diagnose conditions in order to select correct treatment regimen for each individual case.application/pdf6 p.engPapillaGingival smilePonticRestorative dentistryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.4317/jced.54859
