Abstract

Background: This study aims to determine, evaluate and compare the gingival elements of six maxillary anterior teeth and to evaluate the amount of visibility of gingiva during natural and forced smiles of patients in designing an esthetic smile. Methods: A total of 25 patients(13 females and 12 males) aged between 18 to 30 years, with healthy gingiva were included in this study. From maxillary casts, Gingival Zenith Position (GZP) dimensions medio-laterally from Vertical-Bisected-Midline (VBM) of each anterior tooth and GZP of the Lateral Incisor (GZL) apico-coronally from tangent line connecting GZPs of the adjacent teeth and the Gingival Line Angle(GLA) for both sides of midline were measured. From Clinical photographs, gingival visibility was evaluated according to the classification given by Liebert et al. for both natural smile and forced smile. Results: The mean location of GZP of Central Incisor, Lateral Incisor & Canine showed distal deviation of 1mm, 0.4mm & 0.9mm respectively. The mean GZL apical-coronally relative to the gingival tangential zenith line joining adjacent teeth was approximately 1 mm. The asymmetry quantified of GLA (left?right) difference is 1.65?. Smile Analysis revealed: Natural smile: C1:0%, C2:11%, C3:40% and C4:48%. Forced smile: C1:4%, C2:32%, C3:56% and C4:8%. Conclusion: The findings of the current study might be used in conjunction with other objectives and subjective parameters to aid the clinician in making surgical template used to carry out periodontal corrections and in interdisciplinary management of anterior aesthetics.
