Cirurgia periodontal guiada – fluxo digital para correção de sorriso gengival

Abstract

To promote an effective and predictable treatment planning in cases of gingival smile correction, a periodontal surgical guided from virtual planning could be used. The guide was designed using planning software, based on the patient’s facial aesthetic analysis, photos and intraoral scanning. The present case report describes a gingival smile correction, using digital planning combined with high-power diode laser for periodontal surgery. After 16 months of preservation, there was less exposure of the gingiva in the smile and a high level of patient aesthetic satisfaction. Considering the importance of the correct treatment planning, it may be concluded that use of surgical guided made from a digital planning provided a predictable, personalized and safe treatment to the patient.
