The “Gummy Smile Treatment: Comprehensive Approach” lecture provides dental professionals with a comprehensive understanding of gummy smile assessment, diagnosis, and treatment options. Participants will gain a clear view of the various causes of gummy smiles and learn about the latest advancements in treatment techniques and strategies. Through theoretical presentations, case studies, and live surgery recordings, attendees will develop the skills to effectively diagnose and treat gummy smiles, ultimately enhancing their ability to provide optimal results.

Objectives:

By the end of this lecture, participants will be able to:
Identify the different etiologies and contributing factors that lead to a gummy smile.
Understand the principles of smile analysis and its relevance in treatment planning for gummy smile correction.
Understand the Biological principles involved in the precision and long-term stability of surgery and treatment.
Learn about various surgical techniques, including gingivectomy, crown lengthening flap and flapless, lip repositioning with Biovolumes, and the indication of orthognathic surgery and orthodontic intrusion for gummy smile correction.
Develop protocol in communication to discuss treatment options, risks, and predictability effectively.
Understand the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration when managing complex gummy smile cases.

Firmly entrenched within the high aesthetic requirements of Brazilian dentistry, I am having focus my work on the demanding disciplines of soft tissue design and reconstruction. Vast experience in immediate implant placement with temporization, from a single tooth to full arch rehabilitation. Have been invited to lecture and to do training about soft tissue (design, preservation, and reconstruction) on several postgraduation courses as also congress and seminars from Latin America to overseas.
