introduction: complicated crown- root fractures, extended caries and iatrogenic destruction often result in insufficient sound tooth structures and compromise the biologic width. two common options for re-establishing flap with osseous surgery. although some advantages are related to these two options, but coronal movement of gingival and alveolar bone in orthodontic extrusion, esthetic problem...

abstract : the crown-root fracture is a common tooth injury which compromises the biological width and need proper endodontic and prosthodontic treatment to achieve acceptable clinical outcome. this case report describes clinical management of crown-root fracture in maxillary central incisors which was successfully treated by forceps eruption with 180˚ rotation to restore the biological width. ...

soft tissue-implant interface is an important anatomical feature contributing to the long-term success of dental implants. based on the available evidence, different factors may influence biological width around implants including the surgical technique, implant loading, implant surface properties, abutment materials, implant position, and width of the peri-implant mucosa. the purpose of the pr...

the biologic width (bw) includes attached epithelial cells and connective tissue attachment complex being very important in the periodontal health during prosthetic treatments as invading this zone can cause bone resorption and gingival recession. the present study investigated biologic width values in the normal periodontium in anterior and posterior teeth. 30 patients that referred from resto...

Email: [email protected] The concept of Biologic Width has been widely described by periodontists and restorative dentists. An adequate understanding of relationship between periodontal tissues and restorative dentistry is paramount to ens...

BACKGROUND Consideration of the biologic width in restorative dentistry seems to be important for maintaining periodontal health. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the dimensions of the biologic width in humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was performed for publications published by 28 September 2012 using five different electronic databases; this search was complemented by a m...
