NCT03186547

Brief Summary

The aim of the proposal study is to answer the question of how to manage gummy smiles due to hypermobile upper lip with less invasive and low risk level procedure . This trial will help the practitioners and the patients in taking the convenient decision to correct the gumminess to restore lip-gingival-dental harmony and enhance smile asthetics.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient satisfaction and postoperative side effects

    it will be assessed using Questionnaire.

    at 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Improvement of gingival display upon smiling

    at 4,8 and 12 weeks

  • Lower face esthatics: a) upper lip length b) upper lip- vermillion length c) interlabial gap

    at 4,8 and 12 weeks

  • Lower face esthatics: d)nasolabial angle

    at 4,8 and 12 weeks

  • stability of gummy smile correction.

    at the end of 24 weeks.

Study Arms (2)

Botulinum Toxin A Injection

EXPERIMENTAL

this group will receive Botulinum Toxin A Injection at doses of 2.5 or 5 IU (depending on the degree of gum exposure) on each side of the nasolabial fold with follow up at at 2,4,8,12 and 24 weeks.

Drug: Botulinum Toxin A Injection

Modified Lip Repositioning Surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

this group will receive Modified Lip Repositioning Surgery with follow up at at 2,4,8,12 and 24 weeks.

Procedure: Modified Lip Repositioning Surgery

Interventions

adult patients with gummy smile due to hypermobile upper lip will receive Botulinum Toxin A Injection with a single injection1 cm lateral to the ala horizontally and 3 cm above the lip line vertically.

Also known as: BOTOX
Botulinum Toxin A Injection

the surgical procedure will be done by removal of strip of epithelium by careful dissection and stabilizing the new mucosal margin to the gingiva to improve the gingival display in adult patients with gummy smile.

Modified Lip Repositioning Surgery
