Abstract
Regeneration of interdental papilla damaged by periodontal disease is a very challenging task. So far, many dentists have devised and introduced great surgical methods. Comparing the pros and cons of the methods introduced so far, I came up with the best way to regenerate interdental papilla. Temporarily creating space between narrow interdental papilla, which cannot be solved by periodontal surgery alone, was a great help for connective tissue graft(CTG). The CTG was performed using a microblade, and only one vertical incision was performed off the gingival margin, and the graft was performed by inserting the grafts through here. Along with the orthodontic treatment, the area between the narrow interdental papilla was widened to make it easier for the CTG was carried out. After a period of maintenance, I was able to gather the teeth again with orthodontic force and regenerate the interdental papilla. I named this method ELSA (Enlargement of space-Labial graft-Squeezing-for Augmentation of papilla) technique.
