Papilla preservation is a surgical and prosthetic measure taken to maintain and/or reduce trauma to the interproximal tissue. One of the negative side effects of periodontal surgery is the reduced papillary height and papillary shrinkage that can lead to the exposure of underlying tissues. To prevent this, a papilla preservation technique can be used by the surgeon to help the papilla maintain a more aesthetic look for the patient’s comfort and confidence. One such technique utilizes the papilla preservation flap method in which no incision is made along the facial surface of the interdental papilla. The modified papilla preservation flap method is another technique that may be utilized following periodontal surgery and involves incisions made around the teeth next to the surgery location. These types of papilla preservation techniques allow patients to enjoy both the benefits of the surgery or implant as well as the appearance of the affected area following surgery.
