Excessive gingival display (EGD) is a challenge for dentists attempting to provide their patients a pleasant smile. EGD associated with hyperactivity of the smile elevator muscles can be treated with various surgical techniques; regardless of which technique is used, to achieve a predictable result with long-term stability limiting upper lip movement when the patient smiles, a firm muscle containment is imperative. This report describes an innovative suture procedure associated with a lip repositioning technique aimed at maintaining the traction and containment of the smile elevator muscles. This case demonstrates a successful and stable result for excessive gingival exposure, addressing and satisfying a patient's esthetic concerns.
牙龈过度外露（EGD）对试图为患者提供美观笑容的牙医来说是一项挑战。与微笑提升肌过度活跃相关的EGD可以通过各种手术技术进行治疗；无论使用哪种技术，为了在患者微笑时限制上唇运动并获得具有长期稳定性的可预测结果，牢固地固定肌肉是必不可少的。本报告描述了一种与旨在维持微笑提升肌牵引和固定的唇部重新定位技术相关的创新缝合程序。该病例展示了牙龈过度外露的成功且稳定的治疗结果，解决并满足了患者的美学需求。
