Correction of gummy smile prior to restorative procedures: case report

Resumo

Techniques for aesthetic purposes
are being frequently used in dental practice due to social context.
These techniques can be used to correct concomitant disharmonies
in smile. This clinical case aimed to provide a harmonious smile
combining the techniques of gingivoplasty and direct veneers on the
maxillary anterior teeth. Case report: The gingivoplasty with clinical
crown augmentation sought to correct defects present in toothgingival anatomy, resulting in a realignment of the gingival contour.
Conclusion: The direct veneer technique with composite resins was
elected for closing the interincisal diastema and correction the size
of the involved teeth, providing a more aesthetic dental anatomy.
