A multidisciplinary approach to managing severe gummy smile using 3D simulation and digital surgical guide: a case report.

A smile that reveals >4 mm of gum tissue is called a gummy smile (GS), offering negative impacts on people's self-confidence and aesthetic appearance. The treatment for GS should be planned according to underlying causes such as altered passive eruption of teeth, dentoalveolar extrusion, vertical maxillary excess, and short or hyperactive lip muscles. In this case report, a patient with severe GS received orthodontic and gingivoplasty treatment, aided by digital tools such as 3D simulation, smile design, and 3D printed guides. The treatment yielded remarkable and satisfactory results, without the need for extensive surgery. Our findings suggest that gingivoplasty is a minimally invasive, time- and cost-effective alternative to more extensive procedures for correcting severe gum recession.

Management of a severe skeletal open bite case using temporary anchorage devices and multiloop edgewise arch wire technique.

The primary cause of complex AOB malocclusion is typically a combination of dental, skeletal, functional, and habitual factors. Open bite correction is a challenging treatment due to its complexity and the requirement for long-term stability, therefore, multidisciplinary treatment is often the best option for achieving stable esthetic outcomes.

Use of surgical grafting as a part of multidisciplinary treatment for a patient treated with fixed orthodontic therapy to improve treatment outcomes.

Key Clinical Abstract: Multidisciplinary treatment options can help provide good clinical outcomes if these are appropriately sequenced and carried out correctly. This case exemplifies interdisciplinary involvement to ensure the patient received an improved esthetic outcome. Abstract: The presence of anterior diastemas may compromise the esthetics of a patient's smile, causing mental, and social trauma in many patients. After careful evaluation Periodontal, surgical, and prosthodontic treatments are sometimes required to ensure successful treatment outcomes using a multidisciplinary staged treatment approach. These approaches must be carefully planned to ensure timely treatment progress. Surgical intervention must be planned at the right point in treatment to ensure adequate healing before placement of esthetic restorations.
