Despite the significant achievements in the direction of oral health, dental problems caused by genetic factors still remain an actual and acute challenge for both developed and developing countries.Today, the team of "Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava Clinic" would like to talk to you about such dental problems, the main causative factor of which is the patient's genetics, and which can be eliminated by simple dental manipulations.
According to modern beauty standards, the most attractive and aesthetic smile is considered to be when the bottom line of the upper lips passes over the upper edges of the gums and when smiling, the gums are at least 90% covered. If the gums are widely visible when smiling, and the crown of the teeth is asymmetrical and short compared to the facial contours, the smile loses its attractiveness. Such cases are called "gum smile" in dentistry. One of the factors causing a gummy smile is genetics. The chance that a child will develop a "gummy smile" at an early stage of oral system development increases by almost 50% if at least one of the parents has a similar problem. Fortunately, 21st-century dentistry offers simple and effective ways to solve this problem. In particular, in the case of hypermobility of the lip (when the upper lip moves up more than normal during a smile), there are two ways of treatment: lip repositioning by surgical method or lip Botox injections.
In contrast to a gummy smile, overgrowth of the gums refers to cases when the proportion of the lip covering the tooth and the gum is preserved when smiling, however, the gum tissue is quite voluminous and it looks unaesthetic when smiling. In addition to genetic factors, excessive gum growth can be caused by many reasons. It is noteworthy that overgrowth of gums is a side effect of long-term use of some medications. Such drugs are: immunosuppressants, calcium channel blockers and anticonvulsants. Also, it is possible that the gum tissue does not show any pathology and the crowns of the teeth only visually look short and asymmetrical. In such cases, a clinical diagnosis is a disruption of the normal process of tooth extraction, which does not harm the general health of the human body. Of course, for aesthetic purposes, this problem can be solved. The so-called "Short teeth" and "big gums" are widespread nowadays. At the expense of shortening the gums, the visual extension of the tooth crown is quite a frequent procedure in dental practice. During this intervention, the upper part of the crown of the covered tooth needs to be freed from the gum covering and fully exposed. This gives us a visually wider crown surface. There are cases when it is enough to cut the edge of the gum (gingivectomy), and sometimes it is necessary to remove a small part of the bone tissue under the gum (osteotomy).
The gingivectomy procedure is quite simple and is completed quickly in about 30 minutes. After the operation, the patient soon returns to the usual rhythm of life, as the wound heals in a few days. The obtained result becomes noticeable very soon, both for the patient and for the people around him. The contour line of the gum changes - it looks healthy, and the shape and size of the teeth change - the smile becomes more charming.
Osteotomy is a surgical operation during which the contour of the gum is corrected by removing part of the bone. Maxillofacial surgeons use this method when soft tissue correction (gum cutting) is not enough to achieve the desired visual effect.
