Abstract

Altered passive eruption (EPA) is a common clinical situation in which patients show an excess of the gingiva, and it is usually accompanied by short crowns, its treatment generally involves crown lengthening that can be performed with the use of some devices that favor a safe, fast and effective execution. The purpose of this case report is to present the esthetic treatment of a patient with EPA using the Kois Dento-Facial Analyzer (Panadent®) and the Chu Aesthetic Gauges (Hu-Friedy®) for crown lengthening and esthetic restorations with lithium disilicate. This clinical case shows us that proper diagnosis and treatment planning with all possible options being addressed with the patient is essential to achieve long-lasting results and patient satisfaction.
