- Abstract
The purpose of this work is to carry out a literature review on the effectiveness of the treatment of gummy smile, through the technique of resective gingival surgery associated with the application of botulinum toxin. For this, an integrative review of the literature was carried out, based on pre-established criteria for its execution, consisting of six methodological steps. The research was carried out in the period of April 2022, through access to MEDLINE via PubMed and VHL. After bibliographic searches, a total of 41 publications were identified, of which, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 articles were selected to compose this review. Based on the findings of this review, it can be inferred that botulinum toxin has great efficacy, in addition to being a less invasive, fast and safe technique, however, it is necessary to use an adequate amount of product and respect the type of patient's smile. In addition, although the majority (90%) of the studies present the same scientific methodology, the authors differ regarding the established clinical protocol, such as the patient's facial characteristics, application technique, durability, quantity of product, surgical technique, this fact makes it impossible to analyze in depth the real effects of the techniques on the treatment of the gummy smile. Thus, there is a need for more standardized studies regarding the clinical protocol used, for a more authentic analysis of the surgical technique of gingivoplasty and application of botulinum toxin, for a more consistent understanding of the real risks and benefits involved in its use for gummy smile correction.
