The shape of an interdental papilla play an important role in esthetics. Interdental papilla may be lost due to various reasons such as periodontitis, pathological migration or even as a result of periodontal therapy. This results in formation of black triangle between the teeth causing esthetic concerns. The spaces created also tends to cause food accumulation and further bone loss. Several techniques for papilla reconstruction have been proposed. This case report attempts to report a case of papillary reconstruction procedure done by the Hans and Takei technique, that resulted in good outcome in 6 months.
