摘要
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.
