Summary

Gummy smile is a condition that promotes a disharmonious smile, altering confidence and decreasing self-esteem of many patients. Luckily, this problem in most cases is easily solved by aesthetic crown lengthening surgery. However, this is a surgery that is still considered by many patients to be painful and uncomfortable. Thereby, this study seeks both to evaluate possible changes in patients' self-esteem and self-confidence after the aesthetic crown lengthening surgery.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Crown lengthening surgery

Following clinical and radiographic examinations and thorough case planning, surgical procedures were performed under local anesthesia by a single operator. After anesthesia, the distance from the gingival margin to the cementoenamel junction will be measured, and these values will be transferred to the gingival tissue to guide the procedure. Excess gingival tissue will be excised, and, when necessary, an osteotomy will be performed to re-establish the supracrestal attachment tissues.
