For many years oral esthetic problems treated by dentists were limited to those involving the teeth without giving consideration to the gingiva. However, today it is well established that these structures should be in balance to appear esthetically pleasing. More than 3mm gingival show during smiling is considered as 'excessive gingival display' also known as "gummy smile", which is not attractive. The current case series, presents three patients with gummy smile managed by lip repositioning surgery, each with 1 year follow up. Our objective was to introduce lip repositioning as a successful treatment modality to decrease gingival show using a simple and conservative surgical approach.
多年来，牙医治疗的口腔美学问题仅限于涉及牙齿的问题，而未考虑牙龈。然而，如今人们已经充分认识到，这些结构应保持平衡才能在美学上令人愉悦。微笑时牙龈外露超过3毫米被认为是“牙龈过度外露”，也称为“露龈笑”，这并不美观。本病例系列介绍了3例通过唇部重新定位手术治疗露龈笑的患者，每位患者均随访1年。我们的目的是介绍唇部重新定位这种成功的治疗方式，即采用简单且保守的手术方法来减少牙龈外露。
