Abstrakt: The success of osseointegrated supported prosthesis is dependent on the establishment of a soft-tissue barrier that is able to shelter the underlying osseous structures and the osseointegration surrounding the implant body. The esthetics of dental implant prosthesis depends on the health and stability of the peri-implant mucosa. The biological seal refers to the soft tissue seal around the dental implants that prevents the ingress of toxins. A thorough understanding of soft-tissue healing and maintenance of dental implants is of paramount importance for the success of an implant. This review article describes the components of the surrounding tissue and the healing process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
