Sorriso gengival: etiologia, diagnóstico e opções de tratamento

Abstract

A estética adquiriu um papel fundamental na sociedade actual e cada vez mais os pacientes procuram tratamento com o principal intuito de melhorar a aparência estética do seu sorriso. A exposição excessiva de gengiva durante o sorriso, designada por sorriso gengival, frequentemente representa uma preocupação tanto para pacientes como para médicos dentistas. Esta alteração que atinge uma prevalência de cerca de 10% na população pode ter na sua origem diversas etiologias, como erupção passiva alterada, crescimento vertical maxilar, extrosão dento-alveolar anterior, lábio curto ou hiperactivo, sobre-erupção compensatória, entre outros, e embora existam várias causas distintas é comum que esta resulte de um efeito combinado de diversos factores. É essencial proceder a um adequado diagnóstico diferencial para que a abordagem terapêutica indicada possa ser aplicada para cada caso em particular. O clínico deve compreender a estética facial bem como conhecer os vários factores envolvidos nesta situação e assim proporcionar ao paciente uma resposta estética e funcional.

Aesthetics have been acquiring an important role in society nowadays and an increasingly number of patients seek treatment with the goal of enhance the esthetics of their smile. Extensive exposure of the gingiva during smile, called gummy smile, represents a point of concern for both patients and clinicians. The prevalence of this condition in the general population has been reported to be 10% and there are several etiologies for this, such as altered passive eruption, vertical maxillary excess, anterior dentoalveolar extrusion, short or hyperactive upper lip, compensatory tooth eruption, among others, and while numerous factors may cause this, it is common to occur as a result of an interplay of several etiologies. It is essential to develop a differential diagnosis in order to apply the right specific therapy for each case. The clinician must fully understand the various factors involved in this situation, to provide patients with an esthetic and functional therapeutic answer.
