In recent years, clinicians' and dentists' esthetic demands in dentistry have increased rapidly. The ultimate goal in modern restorative dentistry is to achieve "white" and "pink" esthetics in the esthetically important zones. Therefore, modern esthetic dentistry involves not only the restoration of lost teeth and their associated hard tissues, but increasingly the management and reconstruction of the encasing gingiva with adequate surgical techniques. Interdental space are filled by interdental papilla in the healthy gingiva, preventing plaque deposition and protecting periodontal tissue from infection. This also inhibits impaction of food remnants and whistling through the teeth during speech. These functional aspects are obviously important, but esthetic aspects are important as well. Complete and predictable restoration of lost interdental papillae remains one of the biggest challenges in periodontal reconstructive surgery. One of the most challenging and least predictable problems is the reconstruction of the lost interdental papilla. The interdental papilla, as a structure with minor blood supply, was left more or less untouched by clinicians. Most of the reconstructive techniques to rebuild lost interdental papillae focus on the maxillary anterior region, where esthetic defects appear interproximally as "black triangle". Causes for interdental tissue loss are, for example, commom periodontal diseases, tooth extraction, excessive surgical periodontal treatment, and localized progressive gingiva and periodontal diseases. If an interdental papilla is absent because of a diastema, orthodontic closure is the treatment of choice. "Creeping" papilla formation has been described by closing the interdental space and creating a contact area. In certain cases this formation can also be achieved with appropriate restorative techniques and alteration of the mesial contours of the adjacent teeth. The presence of an interdental papilla depends on the distance between the crest of bone and the interproximal contact point, allowing it to fill interdental spaces with soft tissue by altering the mesial contours of the adjacent teeth and positioning the contact point more apically. The interdental tissue can also be conditioned with the use of provisional crowns prior to the definitive restoration. If all other procedures are contraindicated or fail, prosthetic solutions have to be considered as the last possibility to rebuild lost interdental papillae. Interdental spaces can be filled using pink-colored resin or porcelain, and the use of a removable gingival mask might be the last opportunity to hide severe tissue defects.

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.

The purpose of this study was to statistically evaluate the spacing of primary dentition according to whether or not a space existed and measurement of amount of space in 205 children (male 114, female 91) from 2 to 6 years of age. The results were as follows; 1. In the incidence of interdental space on each region, spacing between the primary lateral incisors and primary canine in maxilla and between the primary canine and 1st primary molar in mandible showed the highest percentage, on the other hand, spacing between the 1st and 2nd primary molars in both jaw showed the lowest percentage. 2. In the kinds of interdental space, the state of primate space and other space together showed the highest percentage, and in the degree of spacing, $S_2$ showed the highest percentage in both jaw. 3. In the incidence of primate space, maxillary primate space showed higher percentage than mandibular primate space in bilateral case. 4. In the type of arch form, spaced arch showed higher percentage than closed arch and about the half of closed arch showed crowding. 5. In both Jaw, available space showed incisor segments, canine segments, and premolar segments in order of amount, and there were not statistically significant differences of sex or jaws in the amount of available space.

본 연구는 상악 유전치부의 치간공간과 인접면 우식의 상관관계를 평가해보고자 하였다. 익산에 거주하는 만3-7세의 어린이 555명을 대상으로 하였으며 탐침이 통과하는지 여부로 치간공간이 있음과 없음으로 분류하였고 와동이 형성되었거나 법랑질 표면이 연화되었을 경우 인접면 우식이 존재하는 것으로 판단하였다. 연구 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 상악 유전치부의 치간공간은 영장류 공간이 77.4%, 발육공간이 유측절치와 유중절치 사이에서 54.4%, 양유중절치 사이에서 39.0%로 나타났다. 2. 인접면 우식발생율은 우측유견치가 6.3%, 우측유측절치가 14.7%, 우측유중절치가 33.5%, 좌측유중절치가 33.7%, 좌측유측절치가 16.0%, 좌측유견치가 4.7%로 나타났다. 3. 치간공간의 수가 많을수록 상악 유전치의 우식발생율은 낮아졌으나 그 상관관계(r=-0.024)는 미약하였다. 4. 상악 유전치부에 공간이 존재하지 않을 경우 존재할 때 보다 평균 우식발생율이 높았으며, 치간공간이 전혀 존재하지 않는 경우 한 곳이라도 치간공간이 존재하는 경우보다 평균 우식발생율이 2배 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The aims of this study were firstly to investigate soft tissue reactions around single implant-supported crowns and secondly to compare soft tissue dimensions and conditions of the crowns in relation to interdental papillae, and lastly to investigate patients'esthetic satisfaction with their single implant-supported crowns according to the interdental papillae presence/absence. Twenty-nine patients (41 implants) whose single missing tooth in the maxillary anterior region had been replaced by single implant-supported crown participated for the study and various variables of soft tissue conditions, dimensions and crown dimensions were measured around the single implant-supported crowns at clinical examination and from study models and slides. The results showed that the soft tissue conditions around the single implantsupported crowns were similar to those around implants used for partially or totolly edentulous patients. Except for the high frequency of bleeding on probing, all other parameters revealed healthy conditions. The buccal sites of the crown had a shallow pocket comparing with other sites. At all sites of the crown, similar status of little inflammation was found. Mesial sites and central-incisor positioned implantsupported crowns had lower contact point position than distal sites and lateral-incisor positioned crowns, respectively. Mucositis index, probing depth and contact point position were significantly correlated with papillae index(p < 0.05). More inflammation and lower contact point position were found at the implant-supported crown with no interdental space than that with interdental space. Patients showed high esthetic satisfaction regardless of interdental space presence. The result indicated that, despite of their submucosal crown margins, single implantsupported crowns have soft tissue conditions as good as other implants used for the treatment of the different types of edentulism and a clinician can manipulate interdental papilla height by modifying crown shapes within the limits of not violating total esthetics.

치주질환으로 손상된 치간유두의 재생은 아주 도전적인 과제이다. 지금까지 많은 치과의사들이 훌륭한 수술적인 방법을 고안하여 소개하였다. 지금까지 소개된 술식들을 순서대로 비교해보고 장단점을 비교해 치간유두를 재생을 위한 최적의 방법을 고안해보았다. 치주수술만으로 해결하기 어려운 좁은 치간유두 사이의 공간을 부분교정치료를 통하여 공간을 일시적으로 만들어 주는 것이 치은이식을 위해 큰 도움이 되었다. 치은이식은 마이크로 블레이드를 이용하여 박리를 시행하고 치은경계부에서 떨어진 수직절개를 하나만 시행해 여기를 통해 추가적인 박리와 이식편을 넣어서 치은이식을 시행하였다. 이렇게 교정치료를 동반하여 좁은 치간유두 사이의 폭을 벌려서 치은이식이 더 용이한 상태로 만들어 치은이식을 진행하고, 치은이 성숙한 뒤 교정력으로 다시 치아사이를 모아주는 술식(ELSA technique)을 통해 치간유두 재생을 할 수 있었다.

하악 4전치 수복은 치아가 작고 공간도 좁아서 지대주 선택에 어려움이 따른다. 치주적으로 좋지 못한 상황에서 치아를 발거하는 경우가 대부분이고, 이러한 경우 치간공극을 크게 열어주는 것이 구강위생 관리 측면에서 유리하다1. 커스텀 지대주로 아무리 작은 직경으로 포스트 부위를 만든다 해도, 스크류가 들어가는 공간 때문에 작은 직경으로 지대주의 포스트 부위를 만드는 것에는 한계가 있다. One body implant2의 경우, post 부위를 넓은 정면으로 설정하는 것 보다는, 보다 d 얇은 측면(90도 회전면)으로 설정하는 것이 치간공극 형성을 위해 유리하다. Internal bone level implant 활용 시 two piece abutment를 활용하는 것 보다, one-piece abutment를 활용한다면 더 효과적으로 치간공극을 위한 공간을 확보할 수 있다.

If orthodontists and restorative dentists establish the interdisciplinary approach to esthetic dentistry, the esthetic and functional outcome of their combined efforts will be greatly enhanced. This article describes satisfying esthetic results obtained by the distribution of space for restoration by orthodontic treatment and porcelain laminate veneers in uneven space between maxillary anterior teeth. It is proposed that the use of orthodontic treatment for re-distribution of the space and the use of porcelain laminate veneers to alter crown anatomy provide maximum esthetic and functional correction for patients with irregular interdental spacing.

Purpose: To analyze the dimensions of the embrasure space between the maxillary central incisors as potential factors influencing interdental papilla fill and height. Methods: The embrasure dimensions between the maxillary central incisors of 100 subjects (40 females/60 males) were assessed with clinical, study model, and radiographic examinations. Variables of the complete and deficient papilla fill groups were compared. Multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate potential influence of the distance between the contact point and bone crest (CP_BC), horizontal interdental distance (HID), and facio-lingual thickness (FLT) at the papilla base on complete/deficient papilla fill and papilla height (PH). Results: CP_BC was the only variable that showed a significant difference between the complete and deficient papilla groups (P<0.05). When the CP_BC was less than 5 mm, the embrasure spaces between the maxillary central incisors were completely filled with interdental papilla. Multiple regression analyses revealed that a significant predictor for complete/deficient papilla fill was CP_BC, and significant predictors for PH were CP_BC and HID (P<0.05). Conclusions: The chances of complete papilla fill increased as CP_BC decreased, while PH increased as CP_BC and HID increased. However, the FLT of the papilla base did not appear to affect papilla fill or PH. From an esthetic perspective, CP_BC as well as HID should be considered as factors influencing the topography of interdental papilla.
