Gingiva imitates the gum when the corresponding tissue is lost in order to compensate for the loss and ensure an aesthetic appearance.
It is a mass of pink color, used to simulate a natural gum. This type of mass is mainly used in restorations, where it is necessary to recreate the gingival part on the crown.
