  • Title: Influence of tissue biotype on implant esthetics.
    Author: Fu JH, Lee A, Wang HL.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants; 2011; 26(3):499-508. PubMed ID: 21691596.
    Abstract:
    Implant dentistry has come a long way since 1981, with great improvements made to achieve primary implant stability and improve bone-to-implant contact. The focus has since shifted toward creating an esthetic restoration that is indistinguishable from natural teeth and is stable over time. This paper proposes a management triad that enhances soft tissue thickness around implant-supported restorations while discussing distinct differences between thin and thick tissue biotypes. In addition, the effect of tissue biotype on implant esthetics is highlighted.
