Interdental Papilla Adaptation Following Anterior Diastema Closure with Direct Composite Restorations: A Case Report

Öz

Introduction: Anterior diastemas are common esthetic problems that may negatively affect smile appearance and patient self-perception. Although various treatment options exist, direct composite restorations are increasingly preferred for diastema closure due to their conservative and minimally invasive nature. This case report presents the clinical relevance of biologically guided restorative design in preventing black triangle formation and supporting interdental papilla adaptation following anterior diastema closure. Case report: A 35-year-old systemically healthy woman presented with esthetic concerns related to a midline diastema between the maxillary central incisors. Clinical examination revealed an approximately 4.0 mm diastema, while radiographic evaluation showed physiologic alveolar bone levels without periodontal or periapical pathology. Based on the patient’s esthetic expectations and preference for a conservative, single-visit approach, diastema closure was performed using direct resin composite restorations. Particular attention was paid to contact point positioning, proximal surface contouring, and emergence profile design, aided by a transparent Mylar strip for controlled formation of the proximal contact area. At the one-month follow-up, complete interdental papilla fill was observed with healthy gingival tissues and satisfactory marginal adaptation. At six months, the restorations maintained esthetic and functional integrity, with stable gingival tissues and no evidence of discoloration, proximal contact loss, black triangle formation, or complications. Conclusion: With appropriate case selection and biologically guided restorative design, direct resin composite restorations represent an effective and conservative option for anterior diastema closure. Proper contact point positioning and anatomically driven proximal contouring play a critical role in preventing black triangle formation and promoting stable interdental papilla adaptation.
