The presence of the dental papilla is critical to achieve esthetics in a single tooth implant restoration.
The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in the papilla fill between implant and teeth comparing immediate implant placement and provisionalised single tooth implant restorations with delayed implant placement and provisionalised single tooth implant restorations. The papilla fill in these two groups was evaluated using the Jemt papilla index.
It was seen that there was no statistically significant difference seen in the volume of the papilla between both the groups. There was a statistically significant difference seen in both the groups on the distal and mesial side from the initial stage go the follow up period of 10 days, 3 months and 6 months.
The interpretation of clinical papilla is a difficult task since many different clinical situations can be encountered while studying single tooth implant restorations. The single tooth implant restoration is a specific entity; the distance between the mesial and the distal side of one implant is never the same. Therefore the present study analysed the papilla as a unit and focused on the vertical fill related to the implant and adjacent teeth.
牙乳头的存在对于单颗牙种植修复的美学效果至关重要。
本研究的目的是确定在即刻种植并临时修复的单颗牙种植修复与延期种植并临时修复的单颗牙种植修复中，种植体与天然牙之间的龈乳头充盈情况是否存在差异。使用耶姆特（Jemt）龈乳头指数对这两组的龈乳头充盈情况进行评估。
两组之间龈乳头体积在统计学上无显著差异。从初始阶段到10天、3个月和6个月的随访期，两组在远中侧和近中侧均存在统计学上的显著差异。
临床中对龈乳头的解读是一项艰巨的任务，因为在研究单颗牙种植修复时可能会遇到许多不同的临床情况。单颗牙种植修复是一个特定的个体；一个种植体近中侧和远中侧之间的距离各不相同。因此，本研究将龈乳头作为一个整体进行分析，并重点关注与种植体及相邻牙齿相关的垂直向充盈情况。
