Novel digital way to measure the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the supracrestal peri-implant soft tissue.

This novel digital superimposition workflow provides a straightforward method of measuring the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the supracrestal peri-implant soft tissue, including the papillae, at each stage of the implant treatment process and beyond. It allows investigating a certain number of soft tissue variables that were previously inaccessible to clinical research. The workflow should help to enhance our comprehension of peri-implant soft tissue dynamics.
