Minimally Invasive Volume Augmentation of Papillae Around Implant Restorations With Hyaluronic Acid Injection

Summary

Open gingival embrasures, also called "black triangles", may occur after surgical intervention or tooth replacement by an implant. They are perceived as anaesthetic by most patients and causing functional and phonetic problems. The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of injection of hyaluronic acid for papilla augmentation next to an implant restoration in a clinical controlled double-blinded randomized trial with 6 months follow-up.
