Presented with more than 20 teeth in the mouth including six maxillary anterior teeth with at least one premolar.
Controlled periodontal disease with no deep periodontal pocket (>4 mm) on maxillary anterior teeth.
Diagnosed with Altered passive eruption (APE) which is defined by the gingival margin located at a more coronal level in which the distance from the gingival margin to the CEJ is more than 2 mm in >2 of the maxillary anterior teeth in both right and left quadrants.

Exclusion Criteria
