The follow-up was 12 months. Conclusion: Altered passive eruption presents a great challenge for the practitioner with regards to both diagnosis and therapeutic management. The practitioner must make the right diagnosis, establish an appropriate treatment plan, and discuss the various therapeutic possibilities with the patient in order to satisfy their esthetic request.
