DentalReach Practice Perspective:
Introduction Gummy smile is excessive gingival appearance during smiling. It is a major esthetic concern in young people. Gingival display of more than 4 mm. A defensible application begins with diagnosis and baseline risk, then compares benefit, harm, alternatives, patient preference and maintenance burden.
DentalReach Evidence Review:
Applicability depends on whether the patient, intervention, comparator, outcome and care environment match the evidence.
