Ortodontia and Passive Eruption
Altered Passive Eruption (ape) is a condition that can significantly affect achievement of the aesthetic goals of orthodontic treatment. Although this condition is known to orthodontists, most do not recognize the difference in its classification and manage- ment. The aim of this article is therefore to describe the guidelines for accurate diagnosis, explain the treatment and establish a mana- gement protocol for ape that would indicate when such patients are to be referred for plastic periodontal procedures, based on clinical findings and considering age as a critical factor when determining the procedure.
