Interdental papilla formation after diastema closure.
General Dentistry 2017 November
Due to improvements in esthetic dentistry, the number of patients seeking to obtain a more harmonious smile has increased. A 40-year-old woman was referred for treatment because she was dissatisfied with the effect that diastemas and a conoid tooth had on her smile. Her maxillary anterior teeth were relatively short, resulting in a compromised esthetic relationship between height and width. Orthodontic treatment for better distribution of her teeth was recommended to the patient, but she refused, wanting faster and less expensive treatment. After diagnostic and waxed-up study casts were obtained, composite resin esthetic mock-ups were made to confirm that sufficient space was left for formation of the interdental papilla. After the patient approved the mock-ups, her anterior teeth were submitted to bleaching, definitive restoration, and additional occlusal adjustments. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient exhibited a harmonious, esthetic smile without black spaces or periodontal inflammation.
