Papilla Regeneration Demystification: Fantasy vs Reality

Presentation Synopsis

Regenerate missing implant papilla is challenging. Understanding biologic and physiologic limitations of soft and hard tissue will facilitate predictability in papilla management. 

This presentation will focus on current treatment philosophies for implant papilla management.  Emphasis will be placed on diagnosis, and Ortho-Perio-Restorative management on the implant papilla. 

Learning Objectives

• Prognostic variables for papilla management
• Role of supra-crestal fibers on papilla existence
• Role of prosthetic contour on papilla existence
• Limitations of hard and soft tissue grafting on papilla regeneration
