Abstract
The role of the biologic width of healthy tissues around dental implants is well evidenced. The interface between the implant biomaterials and hard and soft peri-implant tissues is vital in the overall clinical success of dental implants. Loss of peri-implant hard tissue has a direct effect on the gingival architecture, which can lead to suboptimal clinical outcome. In this chapter, the factors influencing peri-implant hard and soft tissue interfaces are thoroughly discussed. Currently available literature on implant materials, design, and surgical factors such as timing, loading protocols, and abutment connection has also been critically appraised.
