interdental papilla

The interdental papilla can be pyramidal or have a "col" shape.

It appears as a swelling on attached gingiva or interdental papilla.

The interdental papilla does not fully enclose the space, leading to an aperture between adjacent teeth.

There is generally no observable cervical embrasure as this area is filled with interdental papilla.

The borders of embrasures are formed by the interdental papilla of the gingiva, the adjacent teeth, and the contact point where the two teeth meet.

The relationship of interdental bone to the interproximal contact point between adjacent teeth is a determining factor in whether or not the interdental papilla will be present.

The cervical embrasure usually is filled by the interdental papilla from the gingiva; in the absence of adequate gingival tissue a black angle, or Angularis Nigra is visible.

An abscess of the periodontal tissue is termed a gingival abscess when the localized, purulent infection involves only the soft gum tissue near the marginal gingiva or the interdental papilla.

The interdental papilla, also known as the gingival papilla, is the part of the gingiva that exists coronal to the free gingival margin on the buccal and lingual surfaces of the teeth.
