Constant and healthy vertical dimensions of the peri-implant soft tissues are very important with regard to pink esthetics and peri-implant papilla formation. Around teeth and implants, these vertical soft tissue dimensions are represented by sulcus depth, junctional epithelium and connective tissue contact, which as a unit make up the biologic width. Experimental studies reported similar qualitative and quantitative soft tissue integration and biologic width dimensions for monotype and 2-piece tissue level zirconia implants compared to 2-piece tissue level titanium implants.
