It typically extends from the gum margin to the mucogingival junction, and includes the free gingiva and attached gingiva. In plain terms, it is the tougher, more \u201cskin-like\u201d gum that helps tolerate chewing and brushing forces. Clinicians discuss keratinized gingiva when assessing gum health, recession risk factors, comfort with brushing, and soft-tissue conditions around implants."}
