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.

Summary
Understanding the gingival aspect of restorative dentistry is important in harmonizing esthetics and biological function. The proposed index combines three additional specific soft tissue parameters as one variable: the presence, partial presence, or absence of a convex profile [in analogy to a root eminence] on the facial aspect, as well as the related mucosal color and surface texture. The latter two elements basically reflect the presence or absence of an inflammatory process, which, in turn, may adversely affect the appearance of an anterior single-tooth restoration.
