Black triangle and its management
in esthetic dentistry

2.  White esthetics” is the natural dentition or
the restoration of dental hard tissues with
suitable materials.
 “Pink esthetics” refers to the surrounding
soft-tissues, which includes the interdental
papilla and gingiva that can enhance or
diminish the esthetic result.

3. BLACK TRIANGLE
 The loss of papilla can lead to cosmetic
deformities (so-called “black triangle
disease”),
 Reconstruction of the lost interdental papilla
is one of the most challenging
 Restoration and maintenance of these tissues
are a real challenge in modern esthetic
dentistry.

4. Problem associated with
“blackholes”
 phonetic problems (space allows passage for
the air or saliva),
 lateral food impaction
 Altered sound
 Low confidence
 Social unaccepted

5. FACTORS INFLUENCING THE
PRESENCE OF PAPILLA
 Availability of underlying osseous support:
positive architecture”
 Periodontal biotype: thin biotype( suseptible)
: thick type
 Periodontal bioforms :high,
: normal
: flat( suseptible)
 Tooth morphology: triangular shape teeth form
more suseptible

6. LOSS OF INTERDENTAL PAPILLA
 Absence or loss of interdental papillae
 Plaque associated lesions
 Traumatic oral hygiene procedures
 Abnormal tooth shape
 Improper contours of the restoration
 Spacing between teeth
 Loss of teeth.

7. RECONSTRUCTION OF LOST
INTERDENTAL PAPILLA
 Correction of traumatic oral hygiene
procedure
 Non-Surgical
 Surgical
 Orthodontics
 Prosthodontics

8. SURGICAL TECHNIQUES
Surgical approaches included following three treatment
modalities
 Papilla re-contouring-in gingival enlargement
 Papilla preservation.
-Modified papilla preservation flap
- Simplified papilla preservation flap:
 Papilla reconstruction
-Pedicle flap:
-Semilunar coronally repositioned flap:
-Envelop type flap:
-Autogenous osseous and connective tissue grafts:
-Microsurgery

9. Non Surgical
Prosthodontics Implication

10.  Dentists repaired “black triangles” and gaps
with porcelain veneers. A method for
restoring function and appearance, veneers
are thin layers of ceramic that adhered to the
teeth.
 In Crown height ratio gingival ceramic cover
recession area

11. Implant supported prosthesis

12.  Gingiva-colored composites to restore the
defects and aid in visualizing the possible
result may need surgery as future option.
 Monitor the composites for failure and
replace as necessary.
 It is minimally invasive and cost effective
treatment

15. Indications for gingival
prosthesis

Gingival recession with root exposure and open interdental spaces due
to loss of papillae after periodontal disease or post-periodontal
treatment therapy.
 Provisional coverage prior to definite restorations.Temporary splint.
 As a gingival augmentation for implant supported prosthesis.
 When there is proclination of teeth along with mild recession.
 As an interim measure in cases where final treatment planning is
delayed.
