Abstract：With the increasing clinical application of dental implants,the criteria for defining successful implants become more stringent.Decrease or loss of peri-implant papilla can resuh in esthetic and functional problems,such as "black triangle" andfood impaction,which become one of the reasons for implant failure.How to prevent the height decrease of periimplant papilla and how to rebuild peri-implant papilla are the important topics in implant dentistry.Patients with periodontitis face higher risk of papilla height decrease.The present article is aimed to review and evaluate the risk factors of the decrease of papilla height,and the methods of prevention and rebuilding.We also emphasize the high risk of patients with periodontitis regarding the interproximal bone loss.
