All you need to know about the gummy smile its causes and examination are included in the powerpoint, how to diagnose gummy smile, its treatment options and cases are presented in the powerpoint.
2. • Introduction
• Etiology
• Evaluation of gummy smile
• Diagnosis of Gummy smile
• Treatment modulates (surgical and non surgical )
3. What is the beautiful smile ??
It is a matter of
Pink & White
4. Gummy smile
• Is excessive exposure of maxillary gingiva during smiling.
• Prevalence: Females > Males
5.
6. Periodontal deformities
- Gingival hyperplasia.
- Delayed passive eruption of teeth.
The Etiology
Soft tissue deformities
- High lip line
- Short upper lip
- Lip hypermobility
Dental deformities
- Short clinical crown.
- Extrusion of maxillary teeth.
Skeletal deformities
- Vertical maxillary excess
- Maxillary protrusion
7.
8. 1.Extraoral facial examination
Facial symmetry and proportions.
2. Evaluate the morphology of upper lip
• The average lip length is measured from the subnasale to most inferior
portion of the upper lip in midline.
• Normal length: Males=23mm, Females=20 mm (if less=short lip)
• Lip length roughly should be equal to commissure height .
9. 3. Assessment of upper lip to incisal edge of maxillary incisor at rest.
• display of maxillary central incisors at rest position of the lips (normal =3-4mm)
4.Amount of gingival display during smile
Normal display of gingiva is 1-2mm.
10. 5. Evaluation of the smile line
Maxillary Lip line Amount of cervico-incisal of ant. Maxillary teeth
High lip line >100%
Standard lip line 75-100%
Low lip line <75%
11. 6. Occlusal plane and crown dimensions
• It is done by drawing imaginary line connecting the commissures of
the lips and two third the height of the retromolar pad.
• Evaluate the length and width of the anatomical crowns.
12. 7. Periodontal examination
• The width and thickness of keratinized tissues must be measured
(adequate or not ).
• PD & CAL
• Crestal bone level with respect to CEJ.
• Gingival biotype ( thin & scalloped , normal , thick & flat)
13. 8. Radiographic examination
Cephalometric radiograph :to detect any increase in lower anterior height,
occlusal plan angle & skeletal classes.
Periapical radiographs: to detect CEJ location, root length and bony support.

18. Gingivectomy
Or
Periodontal surgery
Indicated in case of G. hyperplasia - gummy smile.
PD >2mm
Needs adequate K. gingiva.
Scalloped marginal incision + raising flap w/without
crestal bone reduction 2.5 mm away from CEJ w/without
apically repositioned flap.
Disadv: risk of ID recession (black triangle)
It is only indicated when there are gingival hyperplasia or abnormal dentogingival relationship.
23. Type IA
Type IB
Type IIA
Type IIB
Type I
>2mm
Type II
<2mm
Bone crest apical to the CEJ (passive)
adequate attached gingiva .
Bone crest at CEJ (active)
adequate attached gingiva .
Bone crest apical to CEJ (passive)
inadequate keratinized tissues.
Bone crest at CEJ (active)
inadequate keratinized tissues.
Gingivectomy
Periodontal flap with bone
reduction
Apically displaced flap
Apically displaced flap
with bone reduction
24. Lip reposition
It is indicated for patients with GS caused by muscular cause.
It is done to limit the pulling of the elevator lip muscles during smiling.
Done by removing a strip of mucosa from the maxillary vestibule by a partial-thickness
flap between the MGJ and the upper lip musculature. The lip mucosa is then sutured to
the MGJ ……….causing narrower vestibule + restricted muscles.
Contraindications
1-Inadequate width of attached gingiva.
2-Patients with severe vertical maxillary excess
25.
26. Myectomy
It is a surgical procedure to detach smile muscle attachment to prevent relapse.
Done by placement of spacer between elevator muscles of lip and anterior nasal spine.
27.
28. Orthognathic surgery
• Indicated for vertical maxillary excess and to balance the relative
positions of the upper and lower jaws.
32. Botox injections
botulinum toxin produces partial chemical denervation of the muscle, resulting in
localized reduction in hyperactive upper labial muscles activity.
It is very effective but temporary .
33.
34. Filler injection(hyaluronic acid)
It changes the shape of the lip, and also restrict the movement of muscle
fibers in the lip acc. To injection site.
Fanning retrograde administration technique (from piriformis fossa)
Lip filler
35. • A retrograde fanning technique was used from the piriformis fossa to the
midline in a supramuscular plane.
• This creates a structural support and the lip was enhanced.
36. Gummy smile
• Orthodontic intrusion only
• Orthodontic & periodontic Rx
• Periodontic & restorative Rx
• Periodontics & restorative Rx
• Orthognathic surgery
• orthognathic surgery with
/without other dental Rx.

At the beginning, the face height should be measured; the length of the middle third of the face should equal the lower third of the face. The mid-face is measured from the glabella, the most prominent point of the forehead between the eyebrows, to subnasale, the point below the nose. The lower third of the face is measured from the subnasale to the lower boarder of the chin.( ) these measurements help in recognizing the etiology if it is skeletal or not. Next , the length and activity of the upper lip must be evaluated; the average maxillary lip length at rest (from subnasale to the most inferior portion of the upper lip at the midline ) is about 23mm in males and 20mm in females and the average maxillary incisor display of 1.91 mm in men and 3.40mm in women.(10, 23) If the maxillary lip measurement is shorter than the norms, a diagnosis of short lip can be diagnosed. While , the amount of translation of the maxillary lip from the rest position to that seen during a dynamic smile is the key to identifying whether the patient has hyperactivity lip muscles or not.

Chu gauge
Slow ortho. Extrusion ………eruption of tooth slowely bringing the alv. Bone anf g. tissue with it
Rapid ortho. Extrustion …..prevent bone and G> to follow the tooth.
Advantages
Adequate contouring and controls hemorrhage.
Disadvantages
Contraindicated for incompatible or poorly shielded cardiac pacemakers.
Unpleasant odor.
If it touches the bone, irreparable damage can be occur.
In Type I, there is an excessive amount of keratinized gingiva and the MGJ apical to the alveolar crest.
A and B depending on the relationship of the osseous crest to the CEJ of the tooth. In type IA, the dimension between the osseous crest and the CEJ is more than 1 mm. Therefore, adequate connective tissue attachment component in the biologic width, which make a simple Gingivectomy the best treatment to remove the excess gingiva. While in Type II B, the osseous crest is in close proximity to the CEJ, so adequate space for the connective tissue attachment component of the biologic width. Therefore, a crown lengthening procedure with bone reduction to move the crestal bone apically will be necessary to provide stable results.
In contrast to Type II, there is no excessive amount of keratinized gingiva but MGJ is near to CEJ. Treatment requires apical positioned flap with or without osseous reduction to provide more ideal esthetics.(20,21)
This spacer is placed with nasal approach between the elevator muscles of the lip and the anterior nasal spine, thus preventing the superior displacement of the repositioned lip. Lip repositioning has also been performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty.[26]
Treatment strategy of gummy smile Type 1. There is an important lack of structural support that, besides a gummy smile, causes a drop of the tip of the nose Upper image: The recommended strategy is 0.6 mL/per side of high-density hyaluronic acid (HA) filler (RHA4®, Teoxane, Geneve, Switzerland) administered by means fanning retrograde technique with a blunt microcannula. In this case it would be necessary to inject an additional bolus (blue ellipse) of 1 mL–2 mL of HA 23 mg/mL. Lower image: The recommended strategy is 0.6 ml/per side of high-density hyaluronic acid (HA) filler (RHA4®, Teoxane, Geneve, Switzerland) administered by means fanning retrograde technique with a blunt microcannula. Additionally, small boluses (blue ellipses) 0.4 mL–0.6 mL de HA 23 mg/mL at the end of each fanning retrograde administration upon reaching the central region of the white lip and circumscribed to the edges of the insertion of the nasal wings. a Frontal view. b lateral view
