Lip repositioning: Secret to magnificient smile
Background and Aim: Excessive gingival display can be managed by a variety of treatment modalities, depending on the
specific diagnosis. Lip repositioning surgery is a largely unknown and underutilized treatment modality for excessive gingival
display. Aim of the present study was to minimize gingival display with a lip reposition procedure.
Method and Materials: A total of two patients with gummy smile were selected for the study. This case report demonstrates
the successful management of excessive gingival display with a lip-repositioning procedure. This is accomplished by removing
a strip of mucosa from the maxillary buccal vestibule, then suturing the lip mucosa to the mucogingival line. This result in a
narrower vestibule and restricted muscle pull, thereby reducing gingival display during smiling.
Result: After a 3-month follow-up, significant improvement in the amount of gingival exposure and esthetic satisfaction was
observed in both cases.
Conclusion: The Lip repositioning technique to decrease the amount of gingival display was shown to be more conservative
and provided good esthetic outcomes in a 3-month follow-up.
