Abstract:

Altered passive eruption is characterized by excessive gingiva in relation to the crown of the tooth. This condition may be localized or generalized, may exist in conjunction with or without periodontal disease and should be considered in planning for restorative, orthodontic, orthognatic and esthetic dentistry. While altered passive eruption is usually diagnosed by clinical observation, this condition is often overlooked or unrecognized. Failure to recognize this condition can result in compromised clinical outcomes. Correct diagnosis of altered passive eruption and proper therapy will result in improved dental care and esthetic results for our patients. In our presentation we will discuss: �?� Passive Eruption �?� Altered Passive Eruption �?� Pretreatment Evaluation: Extraoral Examination �?� Pretreatment Evaluation: Intraoral Examination �?� Presurgical Preparation �?� Clinical Cases
