Priyadarshini Nadig, Digvijaysinh B. Rathod, Ruchi Raval, Sarath Chandran

Framing the teeth, within the confines of the gingival architecture, has a tremendous impact on the aesthetics of the smile. A gummy smile is as unaesthetic as a patient with severe recession. The impact on the beauty of a smile from an uneven gingival contour height can be dramatic and although the position of the gingival tissue zenith seems like a small detail, it can greatly influence the axial inclination and emergence profile of the teeth. The present article reports a case of gummy smile managed by crown lengthening procedure.
Key Words: Altered passive eruption; crown lengthening procedure; gingivectomy; gummy smile.
