    (2018) Vera Procel, María Fernanda; Molina Koppel, Daniela Andrea; Bravo Calderón, Diego Mauricio
    The gingival zenith is an important component of the smile, so the objective of the present study was to characterize the zenith, line and gingival level in maxillary incisors, canines and premolars of the students of the School of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca. In digitalized models, of 51 participants (30 women and 21 men), it was found that the gingival zeniths showed a tendency to dislocate towards the distal longitudinal axes (0.42mm - 0.90mm), being that only in the central incisors, the female participants presented significantly higher amounts of displacement. The most frequent gingival lines were ascending and descending, in the anterior and posterior sectors, respectively. The gingival level type I was the most frequent, with an average distance between the zenith of the lateral incisor and the gingival line of 0.82mm; without significant differences in relation to sex. Thus, the findings of this study can be used in the interdisciplinary management of the anterior aesthetics.
