Background: In the present era, demand of beauty and esthetics has increased rapidly. Interdental papilla (IDP) construction, especially in the esthetic area, is one of the most challenging tasks. Interdental papilla loss might occur due to several reasons as a consequence of periodontal surgery or trauma. Aims and objectives: The present study aimed to prepare economically feasible injectable form of hyaluronic acid gel (HA) in three different concentrations—HA 1%, 2%, and 5% to evaluate its efficacy in the augmentation of IDP. Materials and methods: Total 14 sites were selected with 6 sites (1% HA), 3 sites (2% HA), and 5 sites (5% HA), respectively, for the IDP reconstruction in 18–40 years of age group of both the sexes. Hyaluronic acid was injected at 2 mm apical to tip of papilla for continuous 3 weeks. The IDP augmentation was measured at a time interval of 1, 3, and 6 months using stent with UNC15 probe and photographic analysis was done using Image J software. Results and conclusion: From the results of this case series, 5% HA has shown both clinical and photographic improvements, which can be dependable for papillary enhancement.
