Abstract
It is of interest to document the correlation of soft tissue biotype with pink esthetic score in single full veneer crown in Indian population. Hence, a Cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in an institution, on randomly selected individuals from a data collection of 86000 patient data. Scalloped and thin gingival biotype was present in 62.1 % patients and flat and thick was present in 37.9% individuals according to Anon and Ross Classification. Pink esthetic score didn't give any significant value in single crown cases where 85% cases had a good pink aesthetic score. Thus, the rightness of the PES index for the objective outcome assessment of the esthetic dimension of anterior single-tooth crown was confirmed. However, many randomized clinical trials are needed to further validate and refine this index for its clinical use in prosthetic rehabilitation.
