Abstract

Excessive gum exposure during a smile is called a gum smile. The etiologic factor of this alteration is varied, the identification is essential to create an effective treatment plan. Clinical planning can be performed using a dynamic and digital smile approach. Therefore, software, imaging tests, 3D virtual model and the surgical guide increase thequality and precision of the treatment thus bringing numerous benefits to the patient. Objective: this case report aims to demonstrate the importance of digital flow in smile planning and correction of a gum smile. Case report: the patient presented complaints regarding tooth size and excessive
gum exposure during the smile. After the clinical and radiographic examination, the etiological factor was diagnosed as an altered passive eruption (APE). The treatment of choice was the gingival contour associated with osteotomy and osteoplasty. For the precision of the treatment, a double surgical guide was made. After the procedure the patient was guided and medicated. Conclusion: the digital smile approach favored an accurate, effective and satisfactory surgical treatment for the patient thus restoring the tooth-gingival-facial harmony.
