“…One of the factors that hamper proper aesthetics is the presence of "Black Triangles" [2,7,8] . It is referred to as the gap seen at the cervical embrasure, below the contact point of some teeth, which are cervically located with respect to the interproximal contact point and not occupied with gingival tissue [9][10][11] .

In the modern, fast-paced world the concept of aesthetics is very important to all people. The degree of aesthetic value may vary from person to person but the basic idea of it is more or less equivalent in all people. Similarly, in dentistry, the value of aesthetics is very high. Open gingival embrasures or black triangle cause complex functional and aesthetic problems. Management of such problems requires careful evaluation of the underlying causes. In today's aesthetic environment where both the dentist and the patient are aware of aesthetic value, the real challenge was to reconstruct this lost papilla and moreover to obtain stable and sustainable results. This review was carried out after electronic searches in databases such as PubMed, PubMed Central, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and MeSH. Manual searches of hard copies were also done. Studies included ranged from a time period of 1992-2016 and included clinical trial researches. A total of 19 articles were chosen for this review. These articles satisfied the various inclusion criteria and were taken after a detailed assessment of the full-length articles. Black triangles pose multiple problems both to the dentist and patients. The causes of Black triangles are multifactorial and they can occur after various dental therapies. A strong connection is found between their occurrence and post-orthodontic treatment patients. Various methods to treat these problems are present. The clinician and the patient should discuss these problems and solutions in depth before starting the treatment.

“…The correlation between these parameters can be altered to achieve different smiles and appearance. For example, the relation between the upper lip and the gum appearance could totally transform the appearance from a gummy smile to a nice and more natural smile with a convenient amount of a gum exposure (Sudhakar & Vishwanath, 2014 )diagnose and resolve esthetic problems predictably. Our ultimate goal is to achieve pleasing composition in the smile by creating an arrangement of various esthetic elements.…”

“…Also the future scope for designing smile. (Sudhakar & Vishwanath, 2014). Any alteration in the size of an upper anterior tooth by a bad esthetic restoration could produce an unpleasing smile and lower the esthetic perception especially in females (Al-Marzok et al, 2013; Al Shahrani, 2014; Tin-Oo et al, 2011).…”

Aim: The aim of this observational study was to assess the different esthetic smile criteria of adults in Saudi Arabia. Further goals were to find the predominant dental shades and assess subjects' esthetic perception in a sample of Saudi community. Materials and Methods: Thirty subjects were recruited from King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Subjects were between 18-50 years of age with intact upper anterior teeth and healthy gingiva. All participants were photographed and the following smile parameters were recorded: tooth geometry, shade, midlines, smile arc, and upper lip position. Parameters were plugged in a dedicated smile analysis software and the golden proportion values were obtained. Data were analyzed using Chi Square and Student's t-tests according to variables tested at 0.05 significance level. Results: Regardless of age and sex, 70% of the sample has an average lip position, and consonant smile arc was the prevalent form among 73.3% of the sample. The most common shade was A2 regardless of tooth type or position. Almost half of the participants were satisfied with their overall appearance and only 6 subjects were not satisfied with the size of their teeth. Overall, the golden proportion was not present in the tested sample. Conclusion: Despite the absence of golden proportion, the majority of the sample tested was satisfied with their smile parameters. The prevalent shade was A2 in both genders.
