Interdental Papillae Loss and Multiple RT2 and RT3 Gingival Recession Defects: A Case Report of a Combined Surgical Treatment Approach.

Modern dentistry is focused on patient needs, with the current trend shifting from merely restoring the loss of function to pursuing the esthetic satisfaction of patients and professional operators, as well as achieving optimal and stable results. Ideal smile esthetics depend on the balance between white and pink components, and therefore papilla reconstruction is one of the most challenging goals in periodontal plastic surgery and restorative procedures. The present case report proposes a surgical technique for the combined treatment of RT2 and RT3 recession defects and interdental papilla loss by means of a modified coronally advanced flap with an interdental subepithelial connective tissue graft.
