Management of Black Triangle by composit restoration : A Clinical Case Report
Abstract
An adequate smile is dictated by the harmony and symmetry of the gingival biotype, lips outline, and dental crown shape. However, the loss of the interdental papilla leads to the appearance of a black triangle at the gingival base. This observation concerns a 55-year-old patient presenting multiple "black triangles" in the anterior-superior area, causing aesthetic concerns. The use of a specific matrix, the application of the fifth-generation adhesive MR2 system, alongside enamel and dentin nano-hybrid composites, allowed us to limit the requested interproximal shapes, ensure effective composite bonding, mimic the state of natural teeth, and mask the black triangles for the patient. Considering ethics, the adhesive restorative technique will be the most cost-effective the rapeutic choice. In line with the therapeutic gradient, this minimally invasive technique should be the primary approach for cases involving "black triangles."
