Lip Repositioning Technique: Emergence of esthetic Era in periodontics- A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
A smile conveys a friendly nature, and reflects happiness and confidence. A smile is an important non-verbal method of communication and is an interaction between the teeth, the lip framework, and the gingival scaffold. Now a days Lip repositioning surgery is a known treatment modality for excessive gingival display. It involves precise resection of maxillary mucosal tissues with reattachment of the lip in a more coronal position. Gummy smile, secondary to altered passive eruption and tooth mal‑positioning, can be predictably treated with Surgery and orthodontic therapy. This procedure is safe and predictable with minimal risk or side effects. These case reports demonstrate the emergence of lip esthetic era in periodontics.
