Healthy Human Volunteers  Deficient Interdental papilla 
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Connective Tissue Graft and Platelet Rich Fibrin.  To compare the papillary gain and reduction in black triangle height obtained at 6 months postoperatively between the Connective Tissue Graft(control) group and Platelet Rich Fibrin(test) group. Clinical parameters to be evaluated: Full mouth as well as Site specific probing pocket depth, Site specific clinical attachment level, full mouth plaque scores, full mouth bleeding scores, height of the black triangle, papillary height,standardized photographs for visual analogue scale are to be taken at baseline and six months post surgically.  
Intervention  Interdental papilla reconstruction using microsurgical approach.  Using Microsurgical approach,Under L.A, a full thickness horizontal incision is given buccally at the level of MGJ. Crevicular incision given around the facial and palatal surface of the tooth. Tunnelling to be done from the incision on buccal aspect which is to connect with the tunneling on the palatal aspect. Insertion of the corresponding matrices done from buccal incision and passed over the crest of the bone.Horizontal mattress suture is placed on buccal side and graft is stabilised. A vertical mattress suture was placed on the interdental papilla and is suspended on the composite resin placed at the incisal edge of the teeth. The surgical site was covered with periodontal dressing.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.Papillary height
It is to be measured from base of the papilla to tip of the papilla using UNC probe.
2. Height of the black triangle
It is measured from the tip of the interdental papilla to the apical extent of the contact point using UNC probe.
 
At 6th month from baseline
 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Visual analogue scale is an additional parameter measured as secondary outcome to be analysed at 6 months comparing baseline and 6th month photographs.

Visual analogue scale for papillary fill by a dental professional.
Visual analogue scale for esthetics by the patient.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The current study proposes, minimal access labial and palatal crevicular incisions, so as to create a tunnel across the interdental gingiva, to facilitate placement of the Connective Tissue Graft  in control group and Platelet Rich Fibrin in the test group so as to augment the papilla height under microsurgical approach. The required sample size is a total of 26 patients with 13 patients in each of the two groups.The clinical parameters that were evaluated are PH and BTH which were the primary outcome measures. VASD and VASP were secondary outcome measures along with site specific PPD, CAL, FMPS, FMBS. All the parameters are evaluated and compared at baseline and 6 months. VASD and VASP  were evaluated and compared at 6months
