It is one of the most used periodontal surgical therapy and is commonly done for aesthetic and prognosis of teeth. The process is more likely to be done by a periodontist. It is a procedure in which the surgeon cuts away the part of the gum(gingiva) from the mouth. The diseased tissue is removed and trimmed, the remaining one reattached around the teeth by stitches. This will provide a suitable environment for gingival healing. The study is aimed to establish the diagnosis of gingival smiles and correct it to healthy smiles.
