Abstract

Excessive Gingival Display (EGD) is a multifactorial condition that needs to be managed in a sequential manner in order to reach the proper treatment technique that targets and resolves the underlying etiologies. An innovative procedure called lip repositioning has been introduced and used recently either alone or in combination with other techniques. It can be used in certain cases as an easier, less complicated alternative to major surgical methods providing a pleasant satisfactory camouflage effect with lower morbidity. A case report is presented to show the preparatory and surgical steps used to treat a 25-year-old patient with EGD using lip repositioning technique as an alternative to invasive surgery with satisfactory results that has been stable for 4 years.
