This case report describes the use of a subepithelial connective tissue graft to restore the gingival papillae and augment ridge soft tissues adjacent to a dental implant. The patient was referred for periodontic and prosthodontic evaluation after the placement of an implant--with the implant head 6.5 mm below the adjacent cementoenamel junction--in an area of inadequate bone volume with deficient interproximal papillae and ridge soft tissues. The resulting esthetic defect was restored by means of a combined technique that used a subepithelial connective tissue graft and an emergence profile-contoured crown. A 3-year clinical follow-up with complete regeneration of the gingival papillae is described.
本病例报告描述了使用上皮下结缔组织移植来修复牙龈乳头，并增加牙种植体周围的牙槽嵴软组织。患者在骨量不足、邻间乳头和牙槽嵴软组织缺失的区域植入种植体后，因种植体头部位于相邻牙釉质牙骨质界下方6.5毫米处，而被转诊至牙周科和修复科进行评估。通过联合使用上皮下结缔组织移植和带有穿龈轮廓塑形的牙冠这一技术，修复了由此产生的美学缺陷。文中描述了一项为期3年的临床随访，结果显示牙龈乳头完全再生。
