Gingival biotype — Prosthodontic perspective

Abstract: During treatment planning it is important to recognize different gingival biotypes and forms, because they can affect the esthetic outcome of the treatment. This review provides an insight into the different gingival biotypes, their response to inflammation and trauma; significance in different prosthodontic modalities like esthetic rehabilitation and implant therapy.

“…The thick gingival biotype was positively associated with crestal bone changes in both vertical and horizontal bone dimensions. The findings of this study are in agreement with those of previous reports showing that immediate placement of an implant in a thick gingival biotype offers predictable results (Fu et al, ; Nagaraj et al, ).…”

“…The single-tooth restoration is a specific entity and the distance between the mesial and distal sides of an implant is never the same. [9] Therefore, the present study analyzed the papilla as a unit and focused on the vertical dimensions related to the implant and adjacent teeth.…”

“…Similarly, ignoring the phenotype of the gingival tissues while planning a fixed prosthesis may exaggerate the existing lesions [ 12 , 13 ]. For example, the depth of gingival sulcus, the thickness of gingival epithelium (gingival biotype), as well as the location of the alveolar ridge varies from one patient to the other and should be considered during the treatment planning [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”
