Abstract
Objectives
To present a new surgical approach to gummy smile's therapy in adults, analyzing past techniques.
Materials and methods
With a review of scientific literature on the subject we analyzed every aspect of the problem “gummy smile” with the aim of presenting a new surgical combined approach in two clinical cases.
Results and conclusions
The gummy smile defect has always been a challenge to solve. If in childhood an orthodontic approach is correct, only two ways are available for adults: medical (botox) or surgical. The innovative approach of combining several techniques of the past for the gummy smile surgical therapy in adults scores a winning goal in terms of quickness in reaching the results, low morbidity, and down-time for the patient and nowadays it is seems to be the only way to get stable results.
