The treatment of black triangles in modern dentistry involves various approaches, both surgical and nonsurgical. Surgical methods aim to reconstruct or preserve gingival tissue using techniques such as soft tissue flaps or augmentation. Some invasive surgical methods proposed for papilla reconstruction and correction of black triangle recession include repeated interproximal curettage, Beagle's pedicle graft procedure, free epithelialized and de-epithelialized gingival grafts, and subepithelial connective tissue grafts. The success rate of surgical augmentation depends on the thickness of the gingiva biotype. Orthodontic treatment can also be used to reshape and decrease the embrasure space.
An alternative option is minimally invasive procedures for tissue re-volumizing and papilla anatomical-functional reconstruction. Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been used for minimally invasive papilla reconstruction, leveraging its volumizing filler effect.
Non-surgical strategies based on hyaluronan are gaining ground internationally. The immediate goal of minimally invasive treatment for interdental papilla loss and black triangle disease is mechanical protection and gingival restoration. Promoting tissue hydration, fibroblast vitality, and collagen deposition may offer a long-term regenerative medicine solution. Additionally, natural-origin, High Purification Technology Polynucleotides (PN HPTTM) are exploited for wound healing and counteracting connective tissue depletion.
PNs-based medical devices are widely used in Europe and other countries for various indications, including orthopedics (intra-articular administration), dermatology (intra-dermal injections), and vulvo-vaginal application.
PNs have minimal protein contaminants and allergic risks due to advanced purification techniques. Their hydrophilic nature provides hydration and acts as a volume enhancer. Recent in vitro studies demonstrate improved gingival fibroblast viability and collagen deposition with PNs.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to assess the safety and clinical performance of RDM36 in the treatment of periodontal gingival contraction and in black triangles syndrome (BTS).
