Esthetic VS functional CL
 “ Biologic width is the combined width of
connective tissue and epithelial attachment
superior to the crestal bone.”
(Garguilo et al. 1961)
 “ Biologic width is the sum of the space occupied

by the supracrestal fibres, junctional epithelium and
the gingival sulcus and has a proposed minimal
dimension of 3 mm.”
(Nevins and Skurow)

• Mean depth of the
histologic sulcus is 0.69
mm,
• Mean junctional
epithelium measures 0.97
mm (0.71-1.35 mm),
• Mean supraalveolar
connective tissue
attachment is 1.07 mm
(1.06-1.08 mm).
• A minimum biologic width of only 1.0mm
is necessary. An additional 1 to 3mm of
exposed root coronal to the bone is
required for the creation of a healthy
gingival sulcus

SEQUEL OF BIOLOGICAL WIDTH
VIOLATION
Signs and symptoms:
Chronic pain
Chronic progressive
inflammation of gingiva
Bleeding on probing
Gingival recession
 Pocket formation
Clinical attachment loss
Gingival hyperplasia
Unpredictable loss of alveolar bone
Localized gingival hyperplasia with minimal
bone loss
Biologic width violations can be
corrected by
• 1. Either surgically removing bone away from

proximity to the restoration margin,
• 2. Orthodontic ally extruding the tooth and

thus moving the margin away from the
bone.

Normal
dentogingival complex
normal crest
a crown margin which is placed 0.5 mm subgingivally

tends to be welltolerated by the gingiva
not possible to place an intracrevicular margin because
the margin will be too close to the alveolar bone
As the injured attachment heals, it tends to heal
back to a Normal Crest position, resulting in gingival
recession.
