Mucosal coronally positioned flap technique for management of excessive gingival display

Abstract: Improvement of smile esthetics is a major goal of modern dentistry. Various treatment modalities have been proposed to correct excessive gingival display, depending on intraoral or extraoral etiologies. This report aimed to document the use of mucosal coronally positioned flap called surgical lip repositioning technique for the management of a gummy smile associated with vertical maxillary excess. The procedure restricts the muscle pull of the elevator lip muscles by shortening the vestibule, thus reducing the… Show more

“…En otro caso reportado 18 en el 2018 donde aplica el reposicionamiento de labio en una paciente con sonrisa gingival de 8-9 mm e incompetencia labial, logran disminuir la exposición gingival. Un caso expuesto 19 en 2020 reporta una cirugía a un hombre con sonrisa gingival de 7-8 mm e incompetencia labial, después del procedimiento fue reevaluado a los 6 meses y observaron que presentaba había disminuido su exposición gingival a 3mm.…”

“…In another study with a 12-month follow-up, the mean value of the rebound was 0.3 mm, which was not statistically significant [ 9 ], demonstrating that the stability can be achieved in longer observations. However, the current available evidence regarding this topic comprises studies with short follow-up [ 20 ], small sample [ 9 ], mixed cases of CL and ACL [ 19 ], lack of correlation assessment [ 27 ], absence of papilla dimensional evaluation [ 28 ], and other factors. The absence of conclusive evidence regarding the level of post-surgery rebound and methods for achieving gingival margin stability after ACL surgery poses challenges for clinicians.…”

“…The participants were followed up for 1 week to 7 years after lip repositioning surgery. Four studies19,20,25,27 had a follow-up of at least 6 months, three studies 21,23,26 had a follow-up of 12 months, while in one study,18 the follow-up period was 3 years. One study 28 had a follow-up of up to 7 years, with an average of 3.3 years.…”
