Abstract

The interdental papilla area is a difficult area for connective tissue graft (CTG) due to its narrow space. So Regeneration of interdental papilla is very challenging work. It is very difficult when the teeth have contact with adjacent teeth, but if there was only 3mm of space between the teeth, CTG was not very difficult. Therefore, through the orthodontic force, a 3mm space between the teeth was intentionally created. 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. After a period of maintenance, I was able to gather the teeth again with orthodontic force and regenerate the interdental papilla. I named this technique ELSA Technique (Enlargement of space - Labial graft - Squeezing - for Augmentation of papilla). If interdental papilla is lost due to periodontal disease, ELSA techniques can regenerate interdental papilla very efficiently.

치간유두의 Connective Tissue Graft (CTG)는 좁은 공간 때문에 아주 까다롭다. 그래서 치간유두의 재생은 아주 도전적인 과제라고 생각한다. 이렇게 인접치와의 좁은공간에서 잇몸이식은 아주어렵지만, 3mm의 공간을 만들 수 있다면 CTG는 그렇게 어렵지 않다. 그래서 교정력을 이용하여 임시적으로 3mm의 공간을 만들어 주고 잇몸이식을 진행하였다. CTG는 마이크로블레이드를 이용하여 치은박리를 시행하였고, 치아사이의 공간에 수직절개를 만들어 그곳을 이용해서 결합조직을 이식하였다. 유지기간후에 교정력을 이용해 다시 치아사이의 공간을 모아서 치아를 배열하였다. 이 방법을 통해 치아사이의 치간유두를 재생하였고 이 술식을 이름을 ELSA (Enlargement of space - Labial graft - Squeezing - for Augmentation of papilla)로 이름지었다. 치주질환 등으로 치간유두가 소실된 경우, ELSA technique을은 치간유두를 재생하는 아주 효과적인 방법이다.
