Deficient interdental papilla, otherwise known as the dreaded “black triangle”, is one of the most frustrating challenges in dentistry. Black trianglesoccur between teeth as a result of aggressive crown and bridge, implant, periodontal procedures, or because they occur naturally. In the past, black triangles have been impossible to avoid and even harder to treat.
For the first time in dentistry, general dentists and dental specialists alike now have a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that can be performed to correct deficient interdental papilla in just a matter of minutes. This procedure has been mastered by a protocol using dermal filler materials developed by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) faculty. The black triangle on-demand portion of this course will describe gingival anatomy and biotypes, causes, current restorative and surgical treatments, and step by step detail of dermal filler treatment of black triangles. This is the only accredited black triangle therapy training course presented by the AAFE.
