Resumen
NUNES, Levy et al. Treatment of gingival smile with botulinum toxin type A: a case report. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.4, pp.229-232. ISSN 2173-9161. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maxilo.2014.03.001.
Botulinum toxin has recently been reported in the literature as a treatment option for the correction of the gummy smile. This case report describes the experience of the authors in a case of gingival smile associated with 4 mm of gingival exposure and hyper mobility of the elevator muscle of the upper lip treated with the use of botulinum toxin. Regular checks and assessments of the gingival exposure were performed monthly after the application. Treatment with botulinum toxin type A can be considered as a possible alternative of treatment in this type of cases.
