Introduction: Gingival margin position in relation to synthetic crowns and crown length could be etiological factors in gingival health.
Case Presentation: A 27-year-old male presented with necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis with short clinical crowns suggestive of altered passive eruption. Three years after the initial diagnosis, he presented with crowns on the maxillary incisors.

This case report is of maxillary central incisors still in place 38 years after periodontal surgery to correct the damage to supporting tooth structure caused by an orthodontic elastic band.

Methods And Materials: Standardized panoramic and periapical radiographs were made of 16 human skulls using ball bearings placed on the maxillary first molars to allow adjustment for horizontal and vertical magnification.
Results: At 14 of 19 measurement sites there was no significant difference between measurements on the 2 radiographic film types.
Aim: To investigate associations between the position and orientation of the maxillary first permanent molar and localized attachment loss (localized gingival recession or alveolar bone concavity) at the mesiopalatal aspect of this tooth.
Methods: The study samples were 30 orthodontic study casts of young patients treated without premolar extractions, 45 pretreatment adult periodontal patient study casts, and 56 adult skulls. Measurements made were the maxillary first permanent molar crown angulation, inclination, rotation, and arch position, as well as the presence or absence of localized gingival recession/alveolar bone concavity at the mesiopalatal aspect of the tooth.
