The relationship between open versus normal contact point and inter‐proximal papilla dimensions in periodontally healthy young adults: A controlled clinical trial

Abstract

In patients with gingival health, the dimensions of the IP are significantly increased in teeth without a contact point in comparison with their contra-lateral controls with a contact point. The contact point does not determine the presence and size of the inter-dental papilla, in patients with a healthy gingiva and without periodontal attachment loss.
