Abstract: 
Placement  of  gingival  margins  of  different  type  of  restorations  has  to  be  varied  as  per  the  extent  of  the  defect  and  the  restorative  demands. Various factors tends to govern the margin placement. Over  the  years,  as per  the  level  of  the  free  gingiva,  restorative  margins  has  been  described  as  supra  gingival,  equigingival  and  subgingival.  The concept of biologic width becomes important regarding the margin placement.  This  short  communication  discusses  the  concept  of  biologic  width  and  the  gingival  margins  of  different  restorations  in  respect  to  this  concept.
