Abstract

Excessive gingival display can affect the total esthetics of a smile, becoming the focus instead of the frame of the smile. This can be the result of passive eruption of the gingival complex as the teeth erupt. The condition of delayed or altered passive eruption exists when the gingival complex remains positioned coronal to the cementoenamel junction with the attachment on the enamel instead of the cementum of the root, giving the appearance of short clinical crowns.
