Biological width (BW) is the distance established from the junctional epithelium and connective tissue attachment to the root surface of a tooth. It acts as a natural seal protecting the tooth from infections and diseases. The normal dimension of it is 2.04 mm on average. A periodontal probe is used to determine BW in routine clinical practice. Various methods are available for the determination of BW. A diagnosis of BW violation is asserted when the distance is found to be less than 2 mm at single or multiple locations. Gingival health is of utmost importance when considering the long-term health of the tooth as well as any restoration. A plethora of BW violations can lead to a myriad of complications, which are discussed briefly in this article. The article also aims to highlight BW in relation to restorative margins and implants and its clinical assessment as well as shed light on the procedure that can be employed to correct BW violations in dental practice.

Background: Crown Lengthening is a surgical procedure performed to create a symmetrical gingival line and is carried out to expose necessary additional tooth structure. A short clinical crown occurs as a result of dental malformations, eruption disharmony, and genetic variation. Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to explain the treatment management of Crown Lengthening over the case of diastema closure by indirect veneer restoration. Case: 32 years old female presented with a chief complaint over a space between her anterior maxillary teeth. She wants to rectify her smile. Case Management: The management in this case are preparation of Digital Smile Design (DSD), Crown Lengthening on 11 and 21, and Indirect Veneer on 11, 21, 22. Conclusion: Aesthetical rehabilitation could be attained by an indirect veneer treatment followed by a gingival management which is Crown Lengthening.

The concept of biological width (BW) around dental implants is crucial for the long-term success of implant placement. This systematic review aimed to investigate the differences in BW around one- and two-piece dental implants and to assess the impact of implant design on peri-implant soft tissues. To compare biological width around one-piece and two-piece implant in a population undergone implant treatment. A comprehensive search of MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify studies that compared the BW around one- and two-piece dental implants. Eligibility criteria included published peer-reviewed studies that provided quantitative measurements of BW and related soft-tissue dimensions. Data extraction and synthesis were performed, and the findings were compared for consistency and relevance to the research question. The review included four studies that met the inclusion criteria. Two studies suggested that two-piece implants might lead to an adaptive change in BW and marginal bone levels over time. One study indicated that one-piece implants could maintain a BW and gingival margin position similar to that of natural teeth, while another found no significant long-term differences in soft-tissue volumetric stability between the one- and two-piece systems. The evidence pointed toward the microgap and implant design as influential factors in determining peri-implant soft-tissue dimensions. We found that implant design, particularly the presence of a microgap, plays a significant role in the establishment and maintenance of BW around dental implants. Two-piece implants may induce a greater adaptation in BW, whereas one-piece implants may better mimic the natural soft-tissue architecture. Long-term volumetric stability of the soft tissues appeared to be comparable between the two systems. These findings can inform clinical decision-making regarding the choice of implant systems for optimal soft-tissue health and integration.
