SESMA, Newton et al. Pre-surgical prosthetic planning in implant dentistry: case report of gummy smile. Rev. Assoc. Paul. Cir. Dent. []. 2014, 68, 4, pp. 296-301. ISSN 0004-5276.

The present study describes the rehabilitation of the upper arch with fixed full arch prosthesis screw retained to implants in a gummy smile case report. In order to obtain predictable results, esthetically and functionally, an extensive pre-surgical prosthetic planning and smile digital simulations were done. Based on this planning a maxillary osteotomy was done and immediate implants were installed. After the osseointegration period, the patient received a full fixed metaloplastic prosthesis, screw retained. This case report aims to highlight the importance of pre-surgical prosthetic planning to minimize errors and to achieve esthetic and functional results.
