  • Title: Management of an Adult with Class III Malocclusion, Gummy Smile, and Spaced Dentition.
    Author: Babar S, Calamia JR, Sorrel JM.
    Journal: Dent Clin North Am; 2015 Jul; 59(3):665-74. PubMed ID: 26140973.
    Abstract:
    This case report presents an interdisciplinary approach to achieve functioning occlusion and an aesthetically pleasing smile. This patient's concerns were spacing between upper front teeth and a gummy smile. The case was evaluated, and treatment was planned using a multidisciplinary approach. The patient rejected the option of orthognathic surgery to correct a skeletal problem. Treatment included orthodontics, osteoplasty, gingivoplasty, and porcelain veneer restorations to achieve the desired aesthetic result. Comprehensive orthodontics resulted in a functionally stable occlusion. Space distribution between maxillary anterior teeth with adequate overjet and overbite relationships allowed for conservative preparation to receive porcelain veneer restorations.
