The aim of this study was to assess the effect of isolated V-Y plasty on lip lengthening and the treatment of gummy smile. An isolated V-Y plasty was performed on 14 patients with a gummy smile. In each case, measurements of upper lip length and gingival display were recorded from posed-smile photographs taken preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Gingival display decreased significantly and lip length increased significantly over all intervals investigated. Applying this technique after Le Fort I surgery may be beneficial; however, as with other injection or surgical lip lengthening methods, its stand-alone application should be questioned.
本研究的目的是评估孤立V-Y成形术对唇部延长及露龈笑治疗的效果。对14例露龈笑患者实施了孤立V-Y成形术。在每例患者中，从术前及术后1个月、3个月和6个月拍摄的 posed-smile 照片中记录上唇长度和牙龈暴露情况的测量值。在所有研究的时间段内，牙龈暴露显著减少，唇部长度显著增加。在 Le Fort I 手术之后应用该技术可能有益；然而，与其他注射或手术唇部延长方法一样，其单独应用是否可行值得质疑。
