Lost interdental papilla- commonly known as ‘black triangles’ are of great concern from the aesthetic as well as phonetics point of view when occurs in the anterior maxillary region. This causes an enormous effect on the self esteem of a person. The correction of lost interdental papillae is however one of the most challenging periodontal plastic surgical procedures as the interdental papilla is an end organ and does not have a blood supply of its own. Various techniques have been proposed with varied success rate for its management. We elicit a case report of papillary reconstruction in this article using connective tissue graft by undermining the gingiva-papillary unit to preserve the papillary blood supply.
