Abstract: With the development of dental implant technology, the requirement of implant restoration is not limited to the complete and functional restoration of dentition. Good crown shape, color, soft tissue, and other aesthetic standards have become one of the standards to evaluate the implant restoration. The loss of gingival papilla height affects the aesthetic effect and reduces the patient's satisfaction with implants. At present, techniques for preservation and reconstruction of gingival papilla height have been continuously developed to solve the problem of "black triangle" caused by retraction of gingival papilla. However, the prognosis of soft tissue management is unpredictable and needs to be confirmed by large sample's tracking. In this paper, the factors influencing the height of the gingival papilla around implants are analyzed, and the methods to preserve and reconstruct the height of the gingival papilla during the whole process from tooth extraction to final implant restoration are reviewed.
