Summary:The last decades have witnessed tremendous emphasis on the esthetic aspect of dentistry. The gingival tissues which frames the dentition is an integral part of 'Dental Esthetics'. The clinician must have a good biologic and clinical understanding of both the teeth and gingival tissue in order to attain a healthy and esthetic result. Correcting gingival recession, root exposure, loss of papilla, which leads to poor gingival symmetry, is of major importance in achieving an esthetic outcome. In addition, the emphasis on implants in the esthetic zone requires sound surgical principles to achieve an optimal gingival emergence profile around an implant restoration.
