SUMMARY: Gummy smile is a special aesthetic problem, common to many people. Its main characteristic is the excessive display of gingival tissue, above the necks of the teeth, when smiling. Among the major factors associated with gummy smile are delayed passive eruption, hyperfunctional upper lip elevator muscles and skeletal disorders caused during the development of the maxilla. The treatment is causative; it aims at treating individual aetiological factors and involves periodontal plastic surgery, orthodontic treatment, prosthetic rehabilitation and botulinum toxin injections into the elevator muscles of the upper lip. Anterior maxillary alveolar osteotomy is performed by Oral-Maxillofacial Surgeons to treat gummy smile, in cases where skeletal disorders and, especially, maxillary protrusion are the aetiological factor. The present pa - per focuses on the Cupar method and its use in pati - ents with gummy smile. The Cupar method is a relatively simple and uneventful procedure used to perform anterior maxillary alveolar osteotomy.
KEY WORDS: Cupar method, anterior maxillary oste - otomy, gummy smile
