Abstract:

In 2020, Avila-Orti proposed that the peri-implant “supracrestal tissue height (STH)” consisted of gingival sulcus epithelium, junctional epithelium and connective tissue, which adhered to the surface of the implant, forming a soft tissue seal around the implant.The depth of implant placement, the connection of abutment and the different structure and chemical composition of implant surface can all affect the height and adhesion ofsupracrestal soft tissue. This article will review the formation and attachment of supracrestal soft tissue and related clinical methods to promote soft tissue adhesion.

Key words: supracrestal soft tissue, soft tissue attachment, surface modification, platform switching
