SANTOS, Felipe Rychuv et al. Correction of gummy smile prior to restorative procedures: case report. RSBO (Online) [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.2, pp. 124-130. ISSN 1984-5685.

Introduction and Objective: Techniques for aesthetic purposes are being frequently used in dental practice due to social context. These techniques can be used to correct concomitant disharmonies in smile. This clinical case aimed to provide a harmonious smile combining the techniques of gingivoplasty and direct veneers on the maxillary anterior teeth. Case report: The gingivoplasty with clinical crown augmentation sought to correct defects present in toothgingival anatomy, resulting in a realignment of the gingival contour. Conclusion: The direct veneer technique with composite resins was elected for closing the interincisal diastema and correction the size of the involved teeth, providing a more aesthetic dental anatomy.
