Abstract
Objective: To discuss the results of the aesthetic purpose clinical crown augmentation procedure, presenting two clinical cases of patients with gingival hyperplasia and altered passive dental eruption. Case details: Both patients attended the UNICATÓLICA São João Calabria Dental Complex complaining about the aesthetics of their smiles. After the exams, periodontal health was found, but there was a notorious disharmonic relationship between the length and shape of the teeth, as well as high exposure of gum tissue when smiling. Transulcular probing, photographs and radiographic examination were performed. The patients signed the Informed Consent Form. In the case of altered passive eruption, an internal bevel without flap detachment was chosen, followed by refinement of the gingival margins with Castroviejo scissors. In the case of gingival hyperplasia, the technique chosen was external bevel along with the gingival peeling procedure followed by upper lip frenectomy. The two patients were followed for a period of 7.14, 90 and 150 days, had no aesthetic complaints and were satisfied with the final result. Final considerations: In order to perform gingivectomy, several factors must be analyzed prior to the procedure, including aesthetic factors, periodontal biotype, the cause of the alteration and the need or not for osteotomy.
