Inference: These perioplastic procedures lead to predictable outcomes in the treatment of altered passive eruption /gummy smile. Aim & Objectives: The case report aims to demonstrate the use of perioplastic surgical modalities like lip repositioning along with gingivectomy to treat gummy smile due to altered passive eruption. Altered Passive Eruption (APE) is a clinical situation produced by excessive gum overlapping over the enamel limits, resulting in a short clinical crown appearance, that gives the sensation of hidden teeth. The primary aim of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the prevalence of APE after OT (OT group) and compare it with patients who never received OT (control group). Altered passive eruption results in a large portion of the anatomic crown remains covered by the gingiva resulting in a squarish tooth shape. Nevertheless, there are no studies in the literature that investigate whether OT increases the presence of altered passive eruption (APE). AbstractĪ gummy smile can occur due to: a short upper lip, excessive wear of the teeth due to grinding, vertical maxillary excess or altered passive eruption.
