Expert Solution

Step 1

The passive eruption is a clinical situation produced by excessive gum overlapping over the enamel limits which results in a short clinical crown appearance, that gives the sensation of hidden teeth. It is a factor that shows the presence of a gummy or gingival smile, and it can easily be corrected by periodontal surgery. The term “altered passive eruption” refers to the supposed causal mechanism underlying this morphological variant. It should be remembered that tooth eruption comprises two phases: an active eruption phase which causes the tooth to emerge into the oral cavity, and a passive eruption phase involving apical migration of the soft tissues covering the crown of the tooth.
