Abstract

The esthetic demands have increased considerably over the years in the routine dental practice. Facial harmony is directly related to the smile, which is formed by the combination of three components: teeth, gingiva and lips. The excess gingival exposure, commonly described as "gingival smile", has received greater emphasis in Dentistry in the last years and has been the complaint of many patients, because this situation can influence the self-esteem and social relationships. It is fundamental to establish the correct diagnosis of gingival smile to allow a specific therapy for the patient. This paper presents, by a case report, the esthetic and functional scope by a multidisciplinary approach with association of correction of gingival smile and placement of esthetic ceramic crowns. The interaction between Periodontology and Prosthodontics proved to be essential to achieve health and harmony between dental and periodontal tissues, allowing to meet the patient's expectations, optimizing the esthetic and functional result, besides providing longevity.
