The periodontal attachment loss, gingival recession and loss of interdental papilla in the maxillary anterior region can often lead to aesthetic and functional clinical problems. It becomes a challenge for the dentist to provide an aesthetic solution for the missing gingival tissue and to maintain hygiene.
