Background: The absence of the interdental papilla is a situation that may alter patients' esthetics. Recession of interproximal gingival tissues may be a consequence of periodontal disease, but in some cases it may also be a consequence of periodontal therapy, as a result of surgical or non‐surgical procedures . Methods: The authors present a new multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of migrated maxillary incisors presenting infrabony defects, extrusion, and loss of the interdental papilla . Results and Conclusion: The proposed clinical protocol may reconstruct the interproximal soft tissue, with esthetic improvement of the papillary level, together with resolution of the periodontal defects .
