Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Background: The principles of biologic width have been widely discussed in the literature and used as clinical guidelines during the evaluation of periodontal, restorative, and prosthetic interrelationships. Classic studies determined that sufficient bone should be resected to permit 3.0 mm of sound tooth structure above the crest of bone to house the supracrestal fibers, junctional epithelium, and gingival sulcus during crown lengthening procedure. The purpose of this study is to measure and compare contra laterally the dimensions of SGT in healthy human periodontium.
