Abstract

Introduction: The gummy smile (GS) or excessive gum visibility (EGV) is an aesthetic concern that affects an individual's attractiveness and personality.

Treatment planning: Lip Repositioning surgery (LRP) is a less invasive surgery that can be attributed to treating EGV due to hypermobile lip muscles or mild-to-moderate vertical maxillary excess (VME). Three patients went through LRP surgery by stripping overlying mucosa from the buccal vestibule, followed by suturing the lip mucosa to the mucogingival junction (MGJ), creating shallow vestibule and restricted muscle pull and reducing gingival visibility (GV) during a smile.

Followup: Three months of follow-up showed a satisfactory result with 3.67 ± 0.58 mm mean reduction in GV.

追求美感的唇部手术复位--病例系列。

简介牙龈笑（GS）或牙龈过度暴露（EGV）是影响个人魅力和个性的美学问题：唇部复位手术（LRP）是一种创伤较小的手术，可用于治疗唇部肌肉活动过度或轻度至中度上颌骨垂直过度（VME）引起的牙龈外翻。三名患者通过 LRP 手术剥离了口腔前庭的上覆粘膜，然后将唇粘膜缝合到粘龈交（MGJ）处，形成浅前庭，限制了肌肉牵拉，降低了微笑时的牙龈能见度（GV）：随访：三个月的随访结果令人满意，GV 平均缩小了 3.67 ± 0.58 毫米。
