Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Connective tissue grafting  Interdental papilla reconstruction using connective tissue grafting. Minimally invasive approaches are those procedures that involve less trauma. Connective tissue graft (CTG), considered as gold standard . A crevicular incision will be placed along the buccal and palatal region of the adjacent teeth without splitting the interdental gingiva. Tunnels will be prepared on the buccal and palatal aspect extending from the horizontal incision to the interdental area using tunneling knives. After placement CTG a horizontal mattress suture will be placed on the buccal and palatal aspect to stabilize the graft.  
Intervention  Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin  Interdental papilla reconstruction using injectable platelet rich fibrin .Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) is the most recent and successful advancement in regenerative procedures. It has the ability and potential to release larger amounts of growth factors.At the site with loss of interdental papilla, adequate anesthesia will be obtained and the needle of insulin syringe will be inserted 2–3 mm apical to the papilla tip directed coronally making an angle of 45° to the long axis of the tooth with its bevel facing apically .Multiple injections will be done until the overlying mucosa appears blanched.

Brief Summary   SUMMARY

Interdental papillae, which is a component of the gingivae, are found in the space between adjacent teeth. Open embrasures caused by interdental papillary loss can result in various issues, including aesthetic problems, phonetic difficulties, and food impaction. Injectable platelet-rich fibrin is an autologous platelet concentrate possessing higher amounts of growth factors that aid in regeneration. This study will assess whether black triangle width is reduced or papilla fill will be enhanced by the use of i-PRF as good as CTG. Minimally invasive approaches include nonsurgical procedures and those procedures that involve less trauma.  The procedure involves :

•Allocation of participants into test and control groups
•Connective tissue grafting will be done on control group and injectable PRF is injected into base of the papilla in test groups
•Measurements of Black triangle height , Papillary Height will be taken and reviewed at first and third month
•Clinical and photographic parameters will be re-recorded

•Data will be entered in MS Excel sheet and will be transferred to SPSS for analysis.

This study is conducted to evaluate efficacy of i-PRF compared to autogenous connective tissue graft (CTG), considered as gold standard, in interdental papilla reconstruction.
