Tooth eruption consists of two phases: the active and the passive. If there is a problem in any of these phases, we speak of altered active eruption or altered passive eruption. Here we show its consequences and treatments:

00:00 Introduction:
Altered active and altered passive eruption are alterations in the dental eruption process. We show its consequences and treatments in this 3D animation from Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas (http://j.mp/cPardinas​).

00:04 Phases of dental eruption:
Tooth eruption consists of two distinct phases: active eruption and passive eruption. In the active eruption phase, the tooth emerges through the gum to reach its final position in the mouth, but part of the crown is still covered by the gum. In the passive eruption phase, the gum that covers the crown gradually recedes towards the root of the tooth until it is completely exposed.

00:26 What is altered passive eruption and how is it treated?
Altered passive eruption occurs when the gingiva does not recede to its normal level after the dental eruption process is complete, resulting in teeth that appear shorter and can affect esthetics and hygiene. To correct it, a gingivectomy can be performed.

00:40 What is active altered eruption and how is it treated?
Altered active eruption occurs when the tooth has erupted to its final position, but the bone has not migrated correctly towards the root, remaining too close to the crown. To correct it, in addition to performing a gingivectomy, an ostectomy is required to place the margin of the bone and gum in the correct position.
