Impacto da correlação do sorriso gengival na qualidade de vida: relato de um caso clínico com gengivectomia suficientemente invasiva e guiada.

Abstract

Introduction: The gingival smile is one of the most common complaints related to aesthetics, having a varied etiology, its most common cause being altered passive eruption. To achieve better results, prior planning is required using photographs, plaster models, diagnostic waxing, allowing anticipation of the results without performing surgery. Objective: to report a clinical case of gingival smile correction through gingivectomy and osteotomy without flap displacement, assisted by a surgical guide, to assess the degree of postoperative pain and the impact of this treatment on the quality of life of the patient. Case report: A female patient presented a flat, thick periodontal biotype with a wide range of keratinized mucosa, short and square clinical crowns, a flat cervical line and gingival exposures greater than 3.0 mm, with no loss of insertion, establishing a ratio of 80% in the width / length ratio of crowns to their surgical planning. Results: After 60 days of surgery, the increase of the elements was as planned, and the periodontal tissues presented regular contours, cervical line of the convex smile, zinith of the canines and central incisors positioned more apically and distal to the lateral incisors. Conclusion: The surgical correction of the gingival smile by the gingivectomy technique with osteotomy without flap displacement had a positive impact on the quality of life of the patients in this study.
