The biologic width around natural teeth is compared to the biologic width around implants. The main contemporary implant systems and types are discussed, and sound research is presented to explain the current understanding of dental implant components and macro designs. Butt joint, tissue level, and platform switching designs are compared, as well as external hex and internal conical implant-abutment connections. Biologic effects of different designs are presented, and clinical advice based on basic research is given at the conclusion.
