The attached gingiva is an important anatomical structure of the periodontium. It is a continuation of the marginal gingiva and extends to the mucogingival border. It is formed by keratinized epithelium and is attached to the bone base. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the importance of the attached gingiva from the anatomical, functional, aesthetic viewpoints, while revealing its importance from the point of view of maintaining periodontal health.
Keywords: attached gingiva, gingival phenotype, gingival recessions, tooth width
