Abstract

Background: One of the most frequent causes of gummy smile is an altered eruption, ie, the gingival margins are located at a more coronal position than normal. These cases can be successfully treated with a periodontal surgical approach. Several techniques may be used, depending on the different anatomic variations. Digital flow has become a part of currently practiced dentistry. Virtual planning ensures predictable aesthetic and functional rehabilitation, painless postoperative recovery, and better communication with patients, thus meeting their expectations. Clinical case: Female patient, 24 years old, was prescribed to lengthen the clinical crown by surgery with the application of digital technology in data collection, treatment planning and the application of a two-layer surgical guide in performing surgery, and monitoring the results of gummy smile treatment. Results: After surgery, the clinical crown is lengthened from 8.1 mm to 10 mm, periodontal tissue is healthy, no more gum-exposed smile. Conclusion: The use of surgical guides made from digital planning provided a predictable, personalized and safe treatment to the patient.
