Influence of gingival margin height variation on perceived aesthetics following absent maxillary lateral incisor-canine substitution
Anatomic norms for gingival margin height in absent maxillary lateral incisor-canine substitution do not correlate with the highest-ranking aesthetic choices of a lay population. Lateral incisor gingival margins symmetrically below the central incisors and substituted canine margins symmetrically below these ranked highest. Vertical asymmetry in the substituted canine position was considered the least aesthetic.
