<jats:p>The aim of this study was to longitudinally evaluate alterations in the position of the peri‐implant soft tissue margin, occurring during a 2‐year period after insertion of fixed prostheses. 41 patients, subjected to treatment with partial or full‐arch implant supported fixed prostheses based on a total of 163 standard Brånemark oral implants, were included in the study. A baseline examination was performed at time of insertion of the prosthetic construction and involved assessments of plaque, mucositis, probing depth, bleeding on probing, marginal soft tissue level, width of masticatory mucosa and marginal soft tissue mobility. All patients were re‐examined after 6 months, and after 1 and 2 years, respectively. A regression analysis was performed to evaluate if alterations, occurring in the position of the periimplant soft tissue margin during the 2 years, could be predicted by various variables recorded at time of the installation of the fixed prosthesis. The descriptive analysis showed a slight decrease in mean probing depth (0.2mm) and width of masticatory mucosa (0.3mm) during the follow‐up period. Apical displacement of the soft tissue margin mainly took place during the first 6 months of observation. Lingual sites in the mandible showed the most pronounced soft tissue recession, decrease of probing depth, and decrease of width of masticatory mucosa. The statistical analysis revealed that lack of masticatory mucosa and mobility of the periimplant soft tissue at time of bridge installation were poor predictors of soft tissue recession occurring during the 2 years of follow‐up, but indicated a greater amount of recession in women than men, in the mandible than in the maxilla, at lingual than at facial sites and with increased initial probing depth. It was suggested that the recession of the periimplant soft tissue margin mainly may be the result of a re‐modelling of the soft tissue in order to establish “appropriate biological dimensions” of the periimplant soft tissue barrier, i.e. the required dimension of epithelial‐connective tissue attachment in relation to the facio‐lingual thickness of the supracrestal soft tissue.</jats:p>
