This 1-hour and 17-minute clinical course (spanning 6 lessons) provides a complete, evidence-based approach to Botulinum Toxin Type A (BoNT-A) applications for gummy smile correction and masticatory muscle modulation. The program focuses on equipping practitioners with a deep understanding of facial anatomy, diagnostic assessments, and precise injection protocols—such as the Yonsei Point Technique—to ensure predictable aesthetic and therapeutic results while minimizing functional complications.

Learning Objectives

• Assess the anatomical foundation, underlying etiology, and clinical classification of excessive gingival display.

• Master the Yonsei Point Technique, including exact surface landmarks, dosing ratios, and deep anatomical target muscles.

• Evaluate clinical outcomes, establish patient selection criteria, and mitigate risks associated with gummy smile correction (e.g., asymmetrical smile, upper lip ptosis).

• Diagnose the functional anatomy and underlying causes of bruxism and masseter hypertrophy.

• Execute precise masseter reduction injections by mapping anatomical safe zones to prevent risorius impairment and vascular injury.

• Manage long-term clinical outcomes for structural jawline slimming and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain relief using evidence-based combination therapies.

Target Audience

This course is designed for medical professionals and aesthetic practitioners who wish to master anatomical diagnostics, patient selection, and precise BoNT-A injection techniques for treating gummy smiles and masticatory hyperfunction.

Best for Dentists, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Dermatologists, Plastic Surgeons, and Aesthetic Medicine Physicians.

Topics

Lesson 1. Anatomy & Etiological Classification of the Gummy Smile

• Gummy smile: clinical definition and diagnostic criteria

• Underlying etiology and contributing skeletal/muscular factors

• Classification systems of excessive gingival display

• Perception of smile attractiveness in relation to gingival display

• Relevant muscular anatomy: upper lip elevators and dynamic muscular contributions

Lesson 2. The Yonsei Point Technique: Protocols & Clinical Injection Guide

• The Yonsei Point technique: definition and clinical rationale

• Botulinum toxin clinical benefits in perioral neuromodulation

• Pharmacodynamic mechanism of action in hyperfunctional facial muscles

• Yonsei Point mapping: landmark identification and injection marking

• Primary anatomical target muscles for gummy smile correction

• Dosing protocols, reconstitution guidelines, and step-by-step injection technique

Lesson 3. Gummy Smile Clinical Outcomes, Case Studies & Risk Management

• Result timelines, onset expectations, and documented clinical outcomes

• Comprehensive clinical case study analysis

• Complication avoidance, risk mitigation, and management of adverse events

• Patient assessment and ideal candidate selection criteria

• Alternative options and synergistic combination treatment pathways

• Evidence summary and literature review

Lesson 4. Masticatory Muscle Anatomy, Diagnostics & Bruxism Etiology

• Bruxism: clinical definition, pathology, and functional impact

• Masseter hypertrophy: definition and aesthetic/functional manifestations

• Etiology and contributing physiological/lifestyle factors

• Clinical presentation patterns and diagnostic patient assessment

• Applied muscle anatomy: masseter, temporalis, and masticatory complex

Lesson 5. Masseter Reduction: Injection Techniques, Safe Zones & Dosing Protocols

• Masseter injection landmarks in relation to facial nerve anatomy

• Clinical benefits of BoNT-A in masseteric hypertrophy and bruxism

• Mechanism of action: structural muscle atrophy and neuromuscular blockade
