To promote an effective and predictable treatment planning in cases of gingival smile correction, a periodontal surgical guided from virtual planning could be used. The guide was designed using planning software, based on the patient’s facial aesthetic analysis, photos and intraoral scanning. As a result, the surgical procedure by digital planning provided a more predictable, personalized and safe treatment and outcome to the patient. The present case report describes a gingival smile correction, using digital planning combined with high-power diode laser for periodontal surgery. After 3 months of preservation, there was less exposure of the gingiva in the smile and a high level of patient aesthetic satisfaction. Considering the importance of the correct treatment planning, it may be concluded that use of surgical guided made from a digital planning provided a predictable, personalized and safe treatment to the patient.

Dental surgeons need in-depth knowledge of the bone tissue status and gingival morphology of atrophic maxillae. The aim of this study is to describe preoperative virtual planning of placement of five implants and to compare the plan with the actual surgical results. Three-dimensional planning of rehabilitation using software programs enables surgical guides to be specially designed for the implant site and manufactured using 3D printing. A patient with five teeth missing was selected for this study. The patient’s maxillary region was scanned with CBCT and a cast model was produced. After virtual planning using ImplantViewer, five implants were placed using a printed surgical guide. Two weeks after the surgical procedure, the patient underwent another CBCT scan of the maxilla. Statistically significant differences were detected between the virtually planned positions and the actual positions of the implants, with a mean deviation of 0.36 mm in the cervical region and 0.7 mm in the apical region. The surgical technique used enables more accurate procedures when compared to the conventional technique. Implants can be better positioned, with a high level of predictability, reducing both operating time and patient discomfort.
