Biologic Width – Exploring the Mystery of a Silent Zone
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Biologic width is a specific concept which reveals the dimensional relationship between epithelial attachment, sulcus depth, connective tissue attachment and alveolar crest.An adequate understanding of relationshipbetween periodontal tissues and restorative dentistry is paramount to ensure adequate form, function and esthetics, and comfort of the dentition. Violation of biologic width leads to complications like gingival inflammation and alveolar bone loss. Maintenance of gingival health is one of the keys for the longevity of teeth, as well as for the longevity of restorations.Thisarticle gives the wide aspect of thecomplex question of biologic width and represents an attempt to answer some of the demands in relation to it and discusses various methods for biologic width assessment and guidelines for margin placement.
